Crosley CUD4000 Manual De Usuario

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. 
Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry 
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water must be at least 
120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as 
well if the water temperature is too low.

Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at 
least 1 minute.

Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring 
cup.

Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is 
running into the cup.

If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C), 
have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermostat 
setting.

■

To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before putting 
them into the dishwasher.

■

Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible. 
These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normal 
cycle.

■

Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher 
during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding 
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

■

During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This 
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

■

Use an air dry, or an energy-saving dry option whenever 
possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using 
these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

■

Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse 
portion of the cycle only when needed.

■

Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after 
meals until the dishwasher is full.

Select the wash cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the 
cycles start and stop as the Cycle Control knob passes each 
cycle mark. This is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If 
you prefer, you can set the Cycle Control knob with the door 
unlatched.

 Use the No Heat Dry option with the Rinse Only cycle.

A “●” shows what steps are in each cycle. 

Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.

Cycle time includes dry time.

pans, casseroles, and 
regular tableware.

Use this cycle for loads 
with normal amounts of 
food soil. (The energy-
usage label is based on 
this cycle.)

Use this cycle for pre-
rinsed or lightly soiled 
loads.
