I Summer Madness - Thursday Friday Saturday only I The average dishwasher uses 14 gallons of hot water per load. To save money run your dishwasher only when you have a full load. If you're running short of a utensil or two, wash them off by hand and then run the dishwasher after the meal, when you have a full load of dirty dishes. Other ways you can save: Scrape your dishes before you load them and avoid the rinse-holfeature. That convenience is worth 3 to 7 gallons of hot water every time you use it Let your dishes air dry. Some dishwashers have automatic or overnight dry settings, which tum off the appliance after the rinse cycle. If yours doesn't you can still achieve the same results by opening the door or turning the control knob to 'off after the final rinse. Its worth the effort because you'll save up to 10 percent of your total dishwashing energy costs. d' air-pow- er WASTE Monday - h Price Night (Excluding Drinks, Sales items and Coupons) 1 NT Moon Lake Electric Association |
