Dishwasher Cycles and Options

Wash Cycles (model dependent)

Heavy Wash: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally
require soaking.
Auto Wash: With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect for use with mixed
loads of dishware and varying amounts of food soil. This is the most flexible cycle and is a good choice
for everyday use.
Normal Wash: Thoroughly cleans a full load of normally soiled dishes.
Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle with all available options turned off. As prescribed
in the energy test procedure, the unit was tested without any Rinse Aid in the Rinse Aid dispenser. A single dose of
detergent was used in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent used in the prewash. The test was conducted with
the upper rack in the highest position.
Delicate Wash: For delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware or other special items. Always make
sure that the items are dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section of this manual for fur-
ther information. Hand washing may be the best treatment for "Not Recommended" items on page 5.
Express Wash: Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean
glasses and dessert dishware that may need to be reused at the same event.
Half Load: Can reduce the energy and water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that
fill approximately half of the dishwasher's capacity.

Wash Cycle Options

Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher by 3, 6 or 9 hours. Just press the
"Delay Start" button until the LED is lit beside the number of hours you would like to delay your cycle.
Sanitize: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto, Normal and Half Load cycles. Press the
"Sanitize Option" button to activate the Sanitation features during these cycles. The sanitize LED will
light when sanitation requirements are met. The technical sanitation measures may also improve the dry-
ing results.
Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto Wash when turned off and back on. If you used the sanitize option
in your last cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto Wash with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on.

Wash Cycle Information

Note: To save energy, this dishwasher has a "Smart Control" where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust
the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water tempera-
ture. The "Smart Control" makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently.
Wash cycle times are based on 120°F water supply. If your household water supply is different than 120°F, your
dishwasher's cycle times may be impacted.

Note: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6 for soil removal and sanitization effi-
cacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles have passed sanitization performance tests.
