ENERGY STAR Qualified Dishwashers
AT A GLANCE
What is ENERGY STAR?
¦	The U.S. government-backed symbol of energy efficiency
¦	A program dedicated to identifying products that save energy without
sacrificing performance.
Why Buy ENERGY STAR Qualified Dishwashers?
Save energy
¦	On average, ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers are 20% more energy efficient than
non-qualified models.
¦	Dishwasher energy efficiency is measured by Energy Factor (EF), which includes machine
electrical energy and energy used to heat the water, and is expressed in cycles per kWh, The
higher the EF, the more efficient the dishwasher.
Save money
¦	Because they use less hot water than a conventional new model, a qualified dishwasher
saves about $90 over its lifetime.
Save the environment
¦	By using less energy, qualified dishwashers reduces greenhouse gas emissions caused
by burning fossil fuels at power plants.
¦	By reducing water consumption, they help protect our lakes, streams, and oceans.
I
Energy Fact:
¦	If every refrigerator, dishwasher and clothes washer purchased in the United States this year
were ENERGY STAR qualified, we would prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to
the emissions from 370,000 cars.
Share These Tips with Your Customers
Choosing ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers helps you save energy by incorporating
high-efficiency features such as:
¦	Internal water heaters that reduce water heating costs
¦	High-pressure jets that eliminate the need to pre-rinse dishes
¦	Soil sensors that customize the wash cycle based on each load More efficient, motors and
precise controls and settings
Customers can save even more by:
¦	Running the dishwasher with a full load. 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.
¦	Avoid using the heat-dry, rinse-hold and pre-rinse features. Instead use your dishwasher's
air-dry option.
