Operating Your Dishwasher
Select the Proper Wash Cycle
The Normal Wash cycle will
thoroughly clean most everyday loads
having loosely attached foods. For
more heavily soiled dishware use
Heavy Wash. Pots and pans with
baked-on, dried-on, or stuck-on foods
may require soaking and hand-
scouring. Use the Light Wash cycle
for lightly soiled or heirloom items.
Small loads with normal soiling can
be kept in your dishwasher until you
have a full load by selecting the Rinse
Only Cycle. A small load can be given
a complete washing with the Top
Rack Only cycle. Note: The Top Rack
Only cycle does not reduce wash
time.

Drying Your Dishes
After your dishwasher has washed
and rinsed your dishes, a period of
condensation drying will follow. The
combination of a high final rinse
temperature, the tub’s cool stainless
steel interior, and the sheeting action
of a rinse agent results in effective
and efficient drying. After about 12
minutes of drying
• the “Clean” light will illumninate,
• the “Sanitized” light will illuminate,
• the Cycle Completion Signal will
sound.
You may then unload your
dishwasher.
The Sanitized Light
When the “Sanitized” light
illuminates, it means that the wash
cycle has met very strict requirements
of time and temperature for
certification as “Sanitized” by the
National Sanitation Foundation. For
more information on this certification,
go to the Cycle Information section of
this manual.
