ENERGY STAR® CERTIFIED
ENERGY STAR is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. Element's ENERGY STAR dishwashers are more efficient than the minimum federal efficiency standard, so they use less energy. This reduces your electricity bill while also being better for the environment.
Delay Start
Set your dishwasher to run on your schedule. With options to delay up to 9 hours in advance, you can plan your dishwasher's cycle ahead of time. Whether you're planning for a family gathering, a busy workday, or a peaceful evening at home, simply select the desired delay time, and your dishwasher will take care of the rest. Delay Start not only offers you convenience but also supports energy conservation. By scheduling your dishwasher to run during non-peak hours, you can take advantage of lower energy rates to save money.
Heated Dry
No need to hand dry. With Heated Dry, all your dishes come out thoroughly dried and ready to use right away, with every load. Plus, Heated Dry ensures that your dishes are not only clean but also sanitized for a cleaner kitchen.
