Clean the Exterior Door Panel
Colored Doors
Use only a soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water.
Stainless Steel Doors
Use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner (preferably a liquid spray) made for cleaning stainless steel. For the best results,
apply the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth, then wipe the surface.
Clean the Door Gasket and Door Seal
Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other debris. Also clean the door seal, located
inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.
Wash Cycle Information
To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” that automatically adjust the cycle based on soil loads and incoming
water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently.
The cycle times listed in the Use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based
on your actual conditions.
See the Available Cycles Chart to determine the cycles available for your specic model.
On select models, the Half Load feature will reduce the water consumption by approximately 30 percent in the Power Scrub
Plus, Regular, and Auto Wash cycles.
On select models, the ECO feature will reduce energy consumption by approximately 10-25 percent depending on cycle chosen.
If additional drying heat is selected, the cycle will be extended by approximately 20 minutes.
If the unit is out of rinse agent, the
OPTIDRY™ feature will automatically extend the cycle time by approximately 10 minutes.
If Pre Soak is selected, the cycle will be extended by approximately 15 minutes.
THE NSF SYMBOL
A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certied by the NSF International to meet very strict
requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are
explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certication is available at the
NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.
Your dishwasher is NSF certied. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certied are shown in the chart above. When these cycles
are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate.
NOTE: If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced and the “Sanitized” light or
symbol may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher Installation Manual has information on the recommended temperature for your
household hot water supply.
