It is important to give all dishes a quick rinse before they go into the dishwasher. Buy a high powered sprayer to leave by the sink and quickly remove those small pieces of food and waste before putting the dishes into the dishwasher. Any extra waste left on the dishes will only accumulate over time and make your dishwasher work that much harder. Prolong its life and make sure that the dishes are well rinsed before you start any wash.

Always make sure your commercial dishwasher is full before your start. There is no point starting a wash with a full load as it not only costs more money, but uses up a lot of energy; energy that could have been put to better use by your dishwasher. By operating with only full loads every time, you will save dishwasher energy and your money, because you are not using your dishwasher twice in order to clean the same amount of dishes.

Make sure that your water heater temperature stays below 140 degrees. If you go over this temperature when using your dishwasher, you will be wasting a lot of energy and your bill will increase unnecessarily. However, if the water in your dishwasher increases to more the 140 degrees you could also be doing some unnecessary damage to the dishwasher itself in the mechanisms which you cannot see on the surface.

In order to keep the dishwasher functioning healthily you need to pay special attention to the dishwasher's filters. You should regularly change and clean commercial dishwashers so that the machines do not have to work so hard. The less they have to work on a daily basis, the longer they will last in general. So, change and clean the dishwasher filters regularly and enjoy more for your money.

Investigate your dishwasher's settings and make sure the rinse pressure is set between 15 to 25 pounds per square inch for energy efficiency. The more energy efficient your dishwasher is, the less money you will pay every month and the longer your dishwasher will actually last too. Monitor the settings and make the adjustments necessary if needs be.
