Cycle and Option Descriptions This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described. Estimated cycle times may increase or decrease depending on water temperature, soil conditions, dish load size, and options selected. You can customize your cycle by selecting an option. See option selections. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option, or select a different option. You can change an option anytime before the selected option begins. At each stage of the wash cycle, you may hear noises that you are not used to hearing in your previous dishwasher. Each cycle will provide a series of pauses and water sprays throughout the wash cycle. This is normal and will provide optimal cleaning performance. CYCLE SELECTIONS CYCLES The most advanced and versatile cycle. This cycle senses load size, soil amount, and toughness of soil, to adjust the cycle for optimal cleaning using only the amount of water and energy needed. Use for all soil levels. ESTIMATED WASH TIME (HH:MM) 2:30 Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and tableware. 3:28 WATER USAGE GALLONS (LITERS) 3.38 to 7.4 (12.8 to 28.0) 7.4 (28.0) This cycle, with only the Heat Dry option selected, and without other options selected, is recommended to completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes. The energy usage label is based on this cycle and option combination. For fast results, 1-Hour Wash will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy. Select the Heat Dry option to provide best drying performance. 2:32 2.4 to 7.4 (9.09 to 28.0) 1:00 7.87 (29.8) This cycle quietly soaks dishes with an extended prewash which eliminates the 7:31 need to presoak dishes, saving personal time and effort. For optimal cleaning results during the Soak & Clean cycle, add prewash detergent. Use this cycle for loads with heavy amounts of dried-on or hard-to-clean baked-on food. 7.4 (28.0) IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat and water as needed. OPTION SELECTIONS OPTIONS Raises main wash temperature to improve cleaning for loads containing tough, baked-on food. Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF International NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. The Sanitized indicator at the end of the cycle shows whether the Sani Rinse option was successfully completed. If the indicator does not activate, it is probably due to cycle being interrupted.
