■
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
■
Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
■
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
Cycle Selection Charts
Select the wash cycle and options desired and press START/
RESUME. The dishwasher starts filling once you press START/
RESUME, unless you select a delay wash. You can change
cycles and options as the machine is filling.
After completing a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the
cycle and options. It uses the same cycle and options again in
the next wash cycle, if you press only START/RESUME.
NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is
interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The cycle will not
resume until the door is closed and Start/Resume is pressed.
A “
●
” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have
some or all of the cycles shown.
Display time is for models with the dual digit display on the
console.
These models meet the ENERGY STAR
®

efficiency.
Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. The cycle
countdown (on some models) pauses at these points until water
reaches the temperature.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
Adaptive Wash (on some models)
Use this cycle for all day-to-day soil types when washing full to

dish load by adding time and heat. During the wash, the wash
action will repeatedly pause for several seconds.
Initial display time after rotating clock pattern: 79-87 min.
Use both detergent dispenser sections when
washing a full soiled dish load.
Use one detergent dispenser section when
washing lightly soiled, partial dish loads.
