Dishwasher Cycles and Options Wash Cycles (model dependent) Heavy Wash: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking. Auto Wash: With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect for use with mixed loads of dishware with varying amounts of food soil. This is the most flexible cycle and is a good choice for everyday use. Normal Wash: Thoroughly cleans a full load of normally soiled dishes. Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle will all available options turned off. As prescribed in the energy test procedure, the unit was tested without any Rinse Aid in the Rinse Aid dispenser. A single dose of detergent was used in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent used in the prewash. The test was conducted with the upper rack in the highest position. Delicate Wash: For delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware or other special items. Always make sure that the items are dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section of this manual for further information. Hand washing may be the best treatment for such items. Express Wash: Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert dishware that may need to be reused at the same event. Half Load: Can reduce the energy and water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher's capacity. Rinse & Hold: Allows you to rinse food soil off of a partial load and hold them in the dishwasher until you are ready to run a full load. Wash Cycle Options Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher by 3, 6 or 9 hours. Sanitize: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto, Normal and Half Load cycles. Press the "Sanitize" button to activate the Sanitation features during these cycles. The sanitize LED will light when sanitation requirements are met. The technical sanitation measures may also improve the drying results. Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto Wash when turned off and back on. If you used the sanitize option in your last cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto Wash with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on. Wash Cycle Information Note: To save energy, this dishwasher has a "Smart Control" where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The "Smart Control" makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash cycle times are based on 120°F water supply. If your household water supply is higher than 120°F, your dishwasher's heating time may be reduced and the "Sanitized" light or symbol may not illuminate.

There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles have passed sanitization performance tests. 12
