Dishwasher Cycles and Options
Wash Cycles
Heavy:
Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require
soaking.
Auto:
With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect for use with mixed loads of
dishware with varying amounts of food soil. This is the most flexible cycle and is a good choice for
everyday use.
Delicate:
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 further
information. Hand washing may be the best treatment for such items.
Normal:
Thoroughly cleans a full load of normally soiled dishes.
Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle will 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 deter-
gent was used in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent used in the prewash. The test was conducted with the
upper rack in the lowest position.
Express:
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.
Rinse:
Allows you to rinse the food soil off of a partial load and hold them in the dishwasher until you
are ready to run a full load.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay Start:
This option allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 19 hours.
Sanitize:
The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. Press the “Sanitize
Option” button to activate the Sanitation features during these cycles. The sanitize symbol will light
when sanitation requirements are met. The technical sanitation measures may also improve the drying
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.
Half Load:
In the Heavy, Auto and Normal wash cycles, the Half Load option can reduce the energy and
water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher’s
capacity. To activate, select the Half Load button in addition to any of the three cycles listed above.
