Running the hot water first is crucial for these newer eco dishwashers. I think because the heating elements are at a much lower power. With my PowerClean being a little older, it actually works better if I don't run the water first because it will temp hold to heat the wash water, extending the main wash time to let the detergent do its work. In newer machines, the wash cycles are already so long that the detergent has plenty of time to be effective, but having to heat the water will make for a much more annoying cycle time for the user.
I think you'll like trying the Hi-Temp Wash option, or the Sani Rinse. You can always use both if you want for a super heated super clean cycle, but the options combined will probably put you into the 3-4 hour range. I'm sure picking just one will leave excellent results, and when the machine is done just prop the door open just a little and they'll flash dry after being so hot, which to me is better on the machine and the dishes, plus saves money and time. | ||

I purchased a new GE MOL dishwasher in Jan. this year. I have found that running the hot water first and using the normal cycle with hi temp boost gets everything spotlessly clean in 135 mins., consistantly. This is the same amount of time that my previous 10 yr. old MOL Maytag took, and there were always some items that weren't clean. Within min. after opening the door the dishes are dry just by nature of the residual heat. When I used the heated dry it took over 3 hrs. and its really not necessary.

 My Kenmore Elite with high temp wash option selected runs about 2:45 minutes. My water heater is set at 120 at most. With sani-rinse selected, cycle time is abut 20 to 25 minutes longer. And yes, selecting sni-rinse also incorporates high-temp wash. I think the longest wash cycle ever was a totally filthy pots & pans load with all options selected. Ran for 3:48. | ||

I always run hot water before running dishwasher
but what usually happens with me, I usually have something to clean by hand first, like the cat water dish or running dish soap and water to clean the counters, so I usually don't just run the hot water and let it run, I actually use the faucet for something else so that the water is already hot, then when the water is off at the faucet, I then turn the dishwasher on....that way I don't feel like I just wasted water trying to wait for the water to get hot.
I think my Maytag runs about 90 to 100 min's with the cycle auto clean, tough scrub, hi temp no heated dry.. | ||
