Cycle and Option Descriptions
Estimated cycle times may increase or decrease depending on water temperature, soil conditions, dish load size, and options selected.
You can customize your cycle by selecting an option.
See option selections. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option, or select a different option. You can change
an option anytime before the selected option begins. At each stage of the wash cycle, you may hear noises that you are not used to
hearing in your previous dishwasher. Each cycle will provide a series of pauses and water sprays throughout the wash cycle. This is
normal and will provide optimal cleaning performance.

during the Soak & Clean cycle, add prewash detergent. Use this cycle for loads with
heavy amounts of dried on or hard to clean baked-on food.

IMPORTANT:
The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the
cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle
will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.
