Dishwasher Cycles and Options

Wash Cycles

Note: In order to save energy, it is recommended to set the “Auto Power Off”
feature to “P:01” (see manual section titled “Auto Power Off”).

Pots & Pans:

Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These

dishes would normally require soaking.

Auto:

Our smartest cycle, with our most flexible soil sensing capability, this

cycle is optimal for use with mixed dishware and food soils.

Glass:

Best for delicate dishes and glasses, the Glass cycle lowers temperature

and cycle length to decrease energy usage.

Normal:

This is the cycle recommended for daily, regular or typical use to com-

pletely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes.

In order to obtain optimal performance with minimum energy consumption, it
is recommended to disable all available options and settings, except “Auto
Power Off” as noted at the start of this section.
Note 1: See footnote for additional energy test setup instructions.

Express 30 min.:

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:

If you need to pre-rinse dishes to avoid odors, let the dishwasher do

the work for you! Place unrinsed dishes inside the dishwasher and select
the “Rinse” cycle. Uses less water than hand rinsing and very low energy.

Wash Cycle Options

Delay:

Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24 hours.

Save Time:

Save Time is an option that allows saving time without sacrific-

ing wash and dry performance. Selecting this option ensures the same final
temperatures as the underlying cycle, while heating up the dishes quicker.
Selecting this option also increases energy consumption while reducing
cycle time.

Half Load:

Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly

soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher’s capacity.

Delicate:

Available only in the Pots & Pans, Auto and Normal cycles. This

option’s lower temperature will reduce the risk of cloudy glasses.

Sanitize:

Available only in the Pots & Pans, Auto and Normal cycles. The san-

itize LED will light when sanitation requirements are met. The technical sani-
tation 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.

Note 1: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal or Regular soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit
was tested without any Rinse Aid (liquid) in the Rinse Aid chamber. A single dose of detergent was inserted
into the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to
truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads such as the one
in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.
