Note:
Cycle times are approximate and will vary
with options selected. Hot water is necessary to
activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food
soils. An automatic sensor will check the
incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot
enough, the timer will be delayed for automatic
water heating in the main wash of all cycles. This
happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has
not been selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is
selected, an even higher temperature will be
guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads.

Very Important Information-
Read Before Operating Your
Dishwasher!
Normal Operating
Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashersITS QUIETER.
The new Precision Wash System uses
energy efficient motors for the wash and
drain portions of the cycle you select. Each
cycle has a series of water fills and drains for
washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle
begins, you mayor may nothear the drain
motor.
The next sound you will hear is the
splashing water as it enters the tub. Then the
lower arm rotates and circulates water. This
is followed by a pause and a slightly different
sound as the middle arm sprays water. If you
listen closely, you will hear the change in
sound as the wash action switches from one
arm to the other.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare
this dishwasher to previous models, you
may be surprised at what you DONT
hear!
