Maytag Kitchen tip of the week.

Improving Your Dishwasher's Cleaning Results.

For best results, review the following information:

Temperature
For good cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoming water temperature should be between 120-140 ° F. to properly activate the detergent, melt greasy food soils and warm the interior for good drying results.

If for any reason the water temperature is 120 ° F. or below, select a water heating option on your dishwasher that thermostatically heats the water to the proper temperature.

To check the incoming hot water temperature, place a thermometer in a glass and set it in the sink below the faucet. Allow the water to run into the glass until the temperature stabilizes and take a reading.

To ensure the dishwasher is filling with the hottest water possible, do the following:

- Let the faucet at the kitchen sink run until the water is hot before starting the dishwasher. This is important if the dishwasher is a long distance from the water heater.
- Avoid running the dishwasher while hot water is being used for activities like showers or laundry.
