Cycle Guide

This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.

NOTE

To repeat the same cycle and options used in the previous wash cycle, select Start twice.

Cycles:

Descriptions:

Quick

For fast results, this cycle will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy. For improved

drying, select a Heat Dry / Extended Dry option.

NOTE

:

Some detergents are not recommended for short wash cycles; please refer to your detergent

packaging for more information.

Normal

This dishwasher’s government energy certifications were based on the Normal cycle with only the

Heat Dry option selected. ** This cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely

wash and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes.

Boost

This cycle is an enhanced Normal Cycle, and it uses more liters of water and heats it to a higher

temperature throughout a longer cycle time to improve cleaning performance. Defaults to Extended

Dry for improved drying. Includes a heated dry option.*

Heavy

Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware. Defaults to

Extended Dry for improved drying. Includes a heated drying option.*

Extended Soak

This cycle quietly soaks dishes with an extended prewash which eliminates the need to presoak

dishes, saving personal time and effort. For optimal cleaning results during this cycle, add prewash

detergent. Use this cycle for loads with heavy amounts of dried-on or hard-to-clean baked-on food.

Defaults to Extended Dry for improved drying. Includes a heated drying option.*

Options:

Descriptions:

Heat Dry

Dries dishes with a heated dry cycle. Load Plastic items in upper racks. This dishwasher’s

government energy certifications were based on the Normal cycle with only the Heat Dry option

selected. **

Extended Dry

Increases the cycle time and temperature to provide improved dry performance over the heat dry

option. For best drying results, use extended dry and rinse aid. Load plastic items in upper racks.

*The government energy certifications are not based on this cycle and may increase your energy usage. See the Normal

cycle description for the government energy certification cycle.

**No other washing and drying temperature options were selected, and the dishwasher was not subjected to truncated

testing. Rinse aid was not used, and there was no detergent used in the prewash.
