These models meet the ENERGY STAR
®
guidelines for energy
efficiency.
Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time,
Main Wash, and Final Rinse indicates the cycle time might be
longer depending on the temperature of the water entering the
dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: These sensor-based cycles may take several
hours depending on cycle selected, water temperature, soil level,
and dish mass sensed.
Smart Wash
Use this cycle for all day-to-day soil types when washing full to
partial dish loads. During the cycle, the sensors will determine
water temperature, wash time, and water amount based on the
soil level and the dish load size. During the main wash, the wash
action will repeatedly pause for several seconds.
Use both detergent dispenser sections when
washing a full soiled dish load.
Use one detergent dispenser section when
washing lightly soiled, partial dish loads.
