Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms 
against soiled surfaces.  First, the dishwasher fi lls with water covering the fi lter area.  Water is 
then pumped through the spray arms.  Soil particles go through and across the fi lter and down the 
drain as the water is pumped out.  This series of steps are repeated as needed.  The number of 
water fi lls vary with the cycle being used.

NOTE

Not all cycles and options available on all 
models.

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.

food soils.  An automatic sensor will check

selected.  When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, 
an even higher temperature will be reached to 
handle heavier soil loads.
