FEATURES AT A GLANCE Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher drains for a few seconds to remove soils dropped while loading, then fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water fills varies with the cycle being used. Features may vary according to model Upper Spray Arm Tub Gasket Cup Shelves Soft Grip Rack Middle Spray Arm Adjustable Rack Mechanism Upper Rack Flex Wash Silverware Basket Lower Rack Lower Spray Arm Detergent Dispenser Rinse Aid Dispenser Filter Serial Label (located on right side of door) Wash Cycle Selections Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the cycle will be lengthened for automatic water heating in the main wash and final rinse of all cycles. This happens even when HIGH option has not be selected. When HIGH is selected, an even higher temperature will be reached to handle heavier soil loads. Recommended Cycle for typical use: The NORMAL WASH cycle with its factory default options of SPRAY and AIR DRY together provides the best all around performance. This cycle selection is recommended for everyday use and is suitable for a large range of both dish load sizes and food quantities remaining on those dishes. NOTE Your dishwasher uses a DishSenseTM Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and then adjusts the cycle accordingly. 4
