Wash Cycle Selections
Note: Cycle times are approximate and will
vary with options selected. Hot water is
necessary to activate dishwasher detergent
and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor
will check the incoming water temperature and,
if it is not hot enough, the timer will be delayed
for automatic water heating in the main wash of
all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP
WASH option has not been selected. When HI-
TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher
temperature will be guaranteed to handle
heavier soil loads.
Getting Started
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading
Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser &
Detergents).
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Close door to latch.
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The
indicator light above the pad will glow when
selected.
6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy
Options). The indicator light above the pad will
glow when selected.
7. If using DELAY START, go to step number 9.
8. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until
water is hot. Turn water off.
9. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
Note: The dishwasher is programmed to
remember your last cycle so you do not have
to reset each time. To start the dishwasher
using the same cycle and options selected
on the previous wash, just press the
START/CANCEL pad.

Operating Your Dishwasher!
Normal Operating
Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashers—IT'S QUIETER.
The new Precision Wash System™ uses
energy efficient motors for the wash and
drain portions of the cycle you select. Each
cycle has a series of water fills and drains
for washing and rinsing dishes. As each
cycle begins, you may–or may not–hear the
drain motor.
The next sound you will hear is the
splashing water as it enters the tub. Then the
lower arm rotates and circulates water. This
is followed by a pause and a slightly different
sound as the middle arm sprays water. If you
listen closely, you will hear the change in
sound as the wash action switches from one
arm to the other.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare
this dishwasher to previous models, you
may be surprised at what you DON'T
hear!
Note: Features and appearance may differ depending on the model you selected.
