Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow 
longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use 
a rinse aid to improve drying.

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

Press the desired cycle. Turn the cycle control knob to the 
desired cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start 
and stop as the cycle control knob passes each cycle mark. This 
is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can 
set the cycle control knob with the door unlatched.

To use Rinse & Hold, press any cycle and turn the cycle control 
knob to Rinse & Hold.

NOTE: Use the Air Dry option with the Rinse & Hold cycle.

A “

” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have 

some or all of the cycles shown.

Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. The cycle 
control knob pauses as the water heats.

Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.

This model meets the ENERGY STAR

® 

 guidelines for energy 

efficiency.

Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time 
indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the 
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the 
water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot 
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.

A small amount of water runs through the pump to remove soil 
particles.

Use this cycle for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans,
