Cycle and Option Descriptions
This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.
Wash times depend on water temperature, heavy soil condition, dish load size and options selected. Adding options will add time to the
cycle.
* Adding options will add time to the cycle. See options information section.
** This is the approximate cycle time obtained with 120°F (49°C) hot water available at the dishwasher. Increase in time results from low
temperature of the incoming water.
