1. Wash Cycles

HEAVY WASH

For heavily soiled dishes or cookware. Everyday dishes may be included.

NORMAL WASH

For loads of everyday dishes, glasses and cookware with medium soils. 

NOTE: 

Many dishes have lighter soil than normal. Choosing a cycle other than 

NORMAL WASH

will save energy and water.

LIGHT WASH

For dishes with light soils.

CHINA

For lightly soiled china and crystal, use the 

CHINA CRYSTAL

cycle.

CRYSTAL

RINSE ONLY

For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. 

DO NOT

use detergent.

2. START

Slowly turn the Dial to the 

desired

position. Don’t turn it past that position, or

you could accidentally miss a rinse. There is a time delay between start-up and
water fill, so you will not hear any wash action right away.

You can locate
your model
number on the
tub wall just
inside the door.
Throughout this
manual, features
and appearance
may var y from
your model.
