energy efficiency.
Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle
time, Main Wash, and Final Rinse indicates the cycle time
might be longer depending on the temperature of the
water entering the dishwasher.
IMPORTANT:
These sensor-based cycles may take
several hours depending on cycle selected, water
temperature, soil level, and dish mass sensed.
Smart Wash
Use this cycle for all day-to-day soil types when washing
full to partial dish loads. During the cycle, the sensors will
determine water temperature, wash time, and water
amount based on the soil level and the dish load size.
During the main wash, the wash action will repeatedly
pause for several seconds.
Use both detergent dispenser sections when
washing a full soiled dish load.
Use one detergent dispenser section when
washing lightly soiled, partial dish loads.
