Energy Savers

Dishwasher

  • Air-dry dishes rather than using the drying heater in your dishwasher.

  • Your dishwasher is more efficient when full. Wait until it's full before turning it on.

  • Load your dishwasher according to the manufacturer¹s instructions. Spraying action and loading work in tandem to clean dishes most effectively.

  • Minimize pre-rinsing, particularly with new dishwashers.

  • Use a lighter wash cycle for lightly soiled dishes.

  • Use the recommended amount of detergent in your dishwasher to avoid over-sudsing, extra rinsing, or not-quite-clean dishes.
