NOTE Why Energy Efficicent Units run long cycles: Several factors are important to washing disware. The energy use of your dishwasher was reduced by applying more of the factors that don't use so much energy and less of the ones that use more. As a result, you will see that the wash cycles take longer. NOTE Very Important Information- Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher! Normal Operating Sounds This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers-IT'S QUIETER. Your dishwasher with it's Precision Direct Wash System® has many enhancements to reduce it's sound level. Still, it is normal to hear some of what is going on inside. The was cycles include several instances of water entering the unit (splashing), the wash pump running to spray water on the dishware (motor & splashing) and the drain pump running to dishcharge the dirty water and soils. Variations in the pumping/spraying sounds are normal. During a cycle the pump switches on and off many times, and operation switches back and forth between wash arms to provide the best cleaning performance. If you select the Normal Cycle, twice during the cycle you will hear the wash motor going on and off at a much different cadence. The pump will pulse several times, repeatedly turning on for less than a second and off for 10 seconds. This allows it to drive soils off the filter and into the drain while using very little water. If, after selecting the Normal Cycle, you select either the Sanitize or Hi-Temp Wash options your dishwasher will understand that a stronger wash is needed and it will not use this pulsing routine. PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T hear! 3
