6 CONTROLS AND SETTINGS 1 2 3 4 5 6  NOTE Your dishwasher uses a DishSenseTM Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and then adjusts the cycle accordingly. CAUTION Property Damage Hazard Before starting dishwasher be sure that the water is connected and turned on. Failure to do so may cause damage to the pump seal and result in water leakage.  NOTE The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last cycle so you do not have to reset each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, just press the START/CANCEL pad. Recommended Cycle for typical use: The Normal Wash cycle with its factory default options of normal temperature and heated dry together provide 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 Not all cycles and options available on all models. Option Selections 1 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 the Heavy wash option has not been selected. When Heavy wash is selected, an even higher temperature will be reached to handle heavier soil loads. The DishSenseTM Technology checks the soil level on your dishes in the Heavy Wash, and Normal Wash cycles. Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes or if water fills can be deleted. Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes. Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water temperature. 2 Temp The programmed cycles default to the Normal wash cycle option. Press the Temp pad to choose Sanitize or High. Sanitize Option To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select Sanitize option. When selected, the light will come on and remain on until end of cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155oF (68oC) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in Heavy and Normal wash cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements.
