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 the
“Auto Power Off” section of this manual).

Heavy:

Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking.

Auto:

This is the most flexible cycle. With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect

for use with mixed loads of dishware with varying amounts of food soil.

Eco:

Best for delicate dishes and glasses, the Eco cycle lowers temperature and cycle length to

decrease energy usage.

Normal:

The Normal cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely 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 features
except Auto Power Off as noted at the start of this section.

Note 1: See footnote for additional energy test setup instructions.

Express:

Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and des-

sert dishware that may need to be reused at the same event.

Rinse:

Allows you to rinse 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:

Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher in one hour increments up to 24 hours.

Half Load:

Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approxi-

mately half of the dishwasher’s capacity.

Delicate:

Available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. This option’s lower temperature will

reduce the risk of cloudy glasses.

Sanitize:

The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. Select one of these

cycles, press the “Sanitize Option” button and then press Start/Resume to activate the Sanitation fea-
tures. The sanitize LED will light when sanitation requirements are met. The technical sanitation mea-
sures may also improve the drying results.

Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto when turned off and back on. If you used the sanitize
option in your last cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto with the Sanitize option selected when you turn
it on.

Extra Shine®:

Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the Extra Shine® option raises the tem-

perature and extends the drying time to further enhance drying results and provides a brilliant shine.

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 deter-
gent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We rec-
ommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.
