OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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

NOTE

ë

Your dishwasher uses a DishSense

TM

 Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and then 

adjusts the cycle accordingly.  

Wash Pressure

The programmed cycles default to the “surge” 
pressure option which varies the pressure 
optimally for the cycle’s intended normal use.  If, 
for some special circumstance, either a very low 
“spray” or very high “scour” pressure is desired 
that may be selected by pressing the WASH 
PRESSURE pad.  Due to wash cycle optimization, 
some pressure options are not selectable in all 
wash cycle.

Wash Temp

The programmed cycles default to the “normal” 
temperature option, to choose HI-TEMP or 
SANITIZE press WASH TEMP pad again.

Hi-Temp Wash Option

HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, by pressing the 
WASH TEMP pad.  The dishwasher heats water in 
the main wash to approximately 140

o

F (60

o

C) and 

increases the temperature higher in the fi nal rinse 
to help with the drying stage.
This helps dishwasher detergent remove food 
grease and soil from dishes more effectively and 
aids in drying performance by adding additional 
rinse aid and increasing the water temperature.

Recommended Cycle for typical 
use:

The Normal cycle with its factory default options 
of normal temperature and heated dry together 
provide the best all around performance.  This 
cycle selection is recommended for everyday use 
and is suitable for a large range of both dish load 
sizes and food quantities remaining on those 
dishes.
