Convenience Features
A two-layer rack system affords flexible loading of up to 14 place settings. Tall-Tub design boasts a top mounting co-polymer tub and liner, recessed door latch, three wash arms, ball-tip tines to keep your favorite dishes from getting scratched, and an in-door silverware basket that frees up additional rack space for more dishes. A Rinse-aid dispenser makes it easy to get spotless rinsing and drying results, while the low rinse-aid indicator lets you know when it's time to refill the dispenser. Electronic controls get rid of the need for knobs and add to the dishwasher's modern look.
Great Washing Action
This built-in model features three wash cycles including Heavy Cycle for pots and pans, Normal Cycle and Quick (light) Wash Cycle. Delay Start affords the convenience of 2, 4 or 6-hour delay so you can continue your after-dinner conversation in peace and quiet. A Tri-Wash system with High-Temp Wash option makes it easy to get even that greasy lasagna pan clean. Five wash option pads help customize your wash cycle to fit your load, and 100% filtered wash water ensures that food particles aren't redeposited on your dishes. A High-Temp Wash option removes any remaining caked-on particles.
Additional Options
This dishwasher is also equipped with an active vent dry system and a heated dry option so you can quickly recycle your favorite dishes and get ready for a second round of dinner guests. Or you can choose a more energy efficient Air Dry option when you're in less of a hurry. The Sofsound I system comes with extra sound absorbers so you won't be disturbed during your favorite TV show.
Energy Star Rated
Replacing a 10-year old dishwasher with an Energy Star qualified unit can save you more than $30 a year in energy costs. Earning the Energy Star means a product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and the Department of Energy. Energy Star qualified dishwashers use 25% less energy than the federal minimum standards for energy consumption. Because they use less hot water compared to conventional models, an Energy Star qualified dishwasher saves about $100 over its lifetime. When you choose Energy Star, you are helping prevent global warming and promote cleaner air without sacrificing the product quality and performance you expect.
Energy Saving Tips
You may also be interested to know that you can save extra energy while washing dishes. Run your dishwasher with a full load. Most of the energy used by a dishwasher goes to heat water. Since you can't decrease the amount of water used per cycle, fill your dishwasher to get the most from the energy used to run it. Also avoid using the heated dry option. Instead use the air dry option, or prop the door open after the final rinse to dry the dishes.
