Dishwasher Cycles and Options
Wash Cycles
Heavy:
Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes
would normally require soaking.
Auto:
With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect
for use with mixed loads of dishware and varying amounts of food soil. This
is the most flexible cycle and is a good choice for everyday use.
Glass:
A cycle for lightly soiled dishes, ideal for temperature sensitive items
or cutlery. In this cycle the temperature is reduced to help prevent dishes
from becoming damaged. It is especially helpful to reduce a cloudy or
etched appearance on glasses.
Note: Some glasses are more prone to etching due to glass manufacturing processes.
Normal:
Thoroughly cleans a full load of normally soiled dishes.
Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle with all available
options turned off. As prescribed in the energy test procedure, the unit was tested
without any Rinse Aid in the Rinse Aid dispenser. A single dose of detergent was
used in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent used in the prewash. For models
with a 3rd rack, the test was conducted with the upper rack in the middle position.
Express:
Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time.
Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert dishware that may need to
be reused at the same event.
Rinse:
Allows you to rinse food soil off of a partial load and hold the
dishes in the dishwasher until you are ready to run a full load. Do not
use detergent in this cycle.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay:
Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24
hours.
SpeedPerfect™:
The Speed Perfect option is available with Heavy, Auto,
Eco and Normal cycles.
Half Load:
The Half Load option can reduce the energy and water con-
sumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately
half of the dishwasher’s capacity.
Delicate:
The Delicate option is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Nom-
ral cycles. This cycle is best used for lightly soiled items with easy to
remove food soils.
Sanitize:
The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal
cycles. Select one of these cycles, press the “Sanitize Option” button and
then press Start to activate the Sanitation features. The sanitize LED will
light when sanitation requirements are met. The technical sanitation mea-
sures may also improve the drying results.
Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto Wash when turned off and
back on. If you used the sanitize option in your last cycle, the dishwasher will
default to Auto Wash with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on.
