Dishwasher Cycles and Options
Wash Cycles
NOTE: In order to save energy, itis recommended to set the “Auto Power Off” feature to “P:01” (see manual section titled
“Auto Power Off”).
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 options and settings, except “Auto Power Off” as noted at the start of this section.
NOTE 1: See footnote for additional energy test setup instructions.
Speed60®*:
Cleans freshly soiled dishes with easy to remove soils. This cycle reduces cycle time while still
including drying.
Half Load*:
Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately
half of the dishwasher’s capacity.
Clean30*:
For lightly soiled items with easy to remove food soils. Reduces overall wash time.
Rinse*:
If you need to pre-rinse dishes to avoid odors, let the dishwasher do the work for you! Place
unrinsed dishes inside the dishwasher and select the “Rinse” cycle. Uses less water than hand rinsing and
very low energy.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay Start:
Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher in one hour increments up to 24 hours.
Half Load*:
Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately
half of the dishwasher’s capacity.
Sanitize*:
Available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. The sanitize LED will light when sanitation
requirements are met. The technical sanitation measures 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.
ExtraDry*:
Used in combination with a wash cycle, the Extra Dry option raises the temperature and extends the
drying time to further enhance drying results and provides a brilliant shine.
ExtraScrub*:
This option increases pressure and temperature in the lower rack for intensive cleaning.
ExtraShine
®
*:
Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse),the ExtraShine
®
option helps dishes
and glassware come out exceptionally clean with perfect shine by raising the temperature and extending
the drying time.
Delicate*:
Available only in the Heavy, Auto, and Normal cycles. This option’s lower temperature will reduce
the risk of cloudy glasses.
* model dependent
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.
