Stainless Steel Doors

spray) made for cleaning stainless steel. for the best results, apply 
the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth, then wipe the surface. 

Clean the Door Gasket and Door Seal

particles and other debris. also clean the door seal, located inside 
the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.

Wash Cycle Information

NOTE:

 

To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” that 

automatically  adjusts  the  cycle  based  on  soil  loads  and  incoming 
water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that can 
cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. the 
cycle times listed in the use and Care manual are based on normal 
soil loads and 120°f incoming water and will vary based on your 
actual conditions.
See the Cycles Chart to determine the cycles available for your specific 
model. 

NOTE

on select models, the Half load feature will reduce the water 

consumption by approximately 30 percent in the power scrub plus, 
regular, and auto Wash cycles. the eCo option may be selected for the 
power scrub plus, auto, regular and Delicate cycles on select models. 
this reduces energy consumption approximately 10% due to lower 
main wash and final rinse temperatures, but extends cycle length 5-10 
minutes to maintain drying performance and the water usage will be 
unmodified in comparison to the normal program cycles.

THE NSF SYMBOL

a dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the nsf symbol has been 
certified by the NSF International to meet very strict requirements 
of  wash  time  and  water  temperature  to  ensure  dishware  and 
kitchenware sanitization. these requirements are explained in the 
document nsf/ansi 184, residential Dishwashers. More information 
on  NSF  Certification  is  available  at  the  NSF  website,  http://www.
nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.

Your  dishwasher  is  NSF  certified.  The  dishwasher  cycles  that  are 
NSF certified are shown in the following chart. When these cycles 
are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control 
panel will illuminate. 

NOTE

if your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher’s 

heating time may be reduced and the “Sanitized” light or symbol may 
not illuminate. Your Dishwasher installation Manual has information on 
the recommended temperature for your household hot water supply.
