Dishwasher Cycles and Options
Wash Cycles
Note: In order to save energy, it is recommended to set the “Auto Power Off” feature to “P:01” (see the “Auto Power
Off” section of this manual).
Heavy:
Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking.
Auto:
This is the most flexible cycle. With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect for
use with mixed loads of dishware with varying amounts of food soil.
Normal:
The Normal cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash a full load of nor-
mally soiled dishes.
In order to obtain optimal performance with minimum energy consumption, it is recommended to disable all available fea-
tures except Auto Power Off as noted at the start of this section.
Note 1: See footnote for additional energy test setup instructions.
Rinse:
Allows you to rinse food soil off of a partial load and hold them in the dishwasher until you are
ready to run a full load.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay Start:
Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher in one hour increments up to 24 hours.
Delicate:
Available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. This option’s lower temperature will reduce
the risk of cloudy glasses.
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 measures may also improve the dry-
ing results.
Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto when turned off and back on. If you used the sanitize option in
your last cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on.
Extra Shine®:
Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the Extra Shine® option raises the tempera-
ture and extends the drying time to further enhance drying results and provides a brilliant shine.
Note 1: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal or Regular soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any
Rinse Aid (liquid) in the Rinse Aid chamber. A single dose of detergent was inserted into the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent
being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that
dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.
