Rinse Aid

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.

Wash Cycle Selections

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 cycle will be lengthened 
for automatic water heating in the main wash 
and fi nal rinse of all cycles.  This happens 
even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not be 
selected.  When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, 
an even higher temperature will be reached to 
handle heavier soil loads.

Option Selections

Hi-Temp Wash Option 

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the 
dishwasher heats water in the main wash to 
approximately 140

o

F (60

o

C).

This increase in water temperature helps the 
dishwasher detergent remove food grease and 
soil from dishes more effectively and aids in 
drying.  HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with 
all cycles except RINSE ONLY.  HI-TEMP WASH 
is automatically provided when the HEAVY 
WASH cycle is selected.
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the 
light above the pad will come on and remain 
on until end of cycle.  To turn off the HI-TEMP 
WASH option, press the pad a second time.  
The light above the pad will turn off.
