Should I connect the dishwasher to hot or cold water?
The decision to connect to hot or cold water is ultimately based on consumer preference, but there are several advantages of cold connection. Apart from using less energy, the cold connection also improves wash performance. The reasons for this being - with cold connection, the water within the dishwasher cabinet has to be heated and while this is happening, the soiled dishes are immersed in water longer. This softens the 'baked on' food matter, and makes washing easier. Some foods tend to 'bake' onto soiled dishes when those dishes are doused with hot water straight away. For this reason, protein rich foods such as egg and meat juices are best washed off using cold water. If a hot connection is used, the washing time is faster because heating time is reduced.
