after a 5-second pause.
Option Selections
You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you
change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option,
or select a different option if desired.
You can change an option anytime before the selected option
begins. For example, you can turn off the drying option anytime
before drying begins.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used.
It uses the same options in the next wash cycle, if you press only
START/RESUME.
Soak & Scour (on some models)
Select this option to presoak your dishes for 4 hours in your
dishwasher instead of presoaking them in the sink. When you
select Soak & Scour, the dishwasher fills and then sprays for
8 minutes. It will then pause for 16 minutes while dishes soak,
and then spray for 90 seconds to keep dishes wet. Pausing for
16 minutes and spraying for 90 seconds are repeated for 4 hours.
At the end of the 4 hours, the dishwasher drains and then starts
the cycle you have selected. The Main Wash heating time will be
extended to allow the water temperature to reach 145°F (63°C).
This presoaking uses only one additional fill of water and does
not require special detergent. Use standard detergent according
to cycle recommendations.
Hi-Temp Wash
Select this option to increase the target water temperature during
the wash portions of the cycle. Hi-Temp Wash raises the target
water temperature to 145ºF (63ºC) in the main wash. Heating the
water helps improve washing results. Hi-Temp Wash is useful
when loads contain baked-on food.
This option adds heat, wash time and water to the cycle.
NOTE: Hi-Temp Wash is an option with Pots & Pans and Normal
cycles. Selecting Hi-Temp Wash with the Sani Rinse option has
no effect, as it already raises the main wash to 145°F (63°C).
Sani Rinse
Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse
to approximately 155°F (68°C). The Sani Rinse option adds heat
and time to the cycle. The Main Wash heating time will be
extended to reach 145°F (63°C). In the Pots & Pans and Normal
cycles, this high-temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and
glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for
Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are
not intended for licensed food establishments.
NOTE: Use the Sani Rinse option with Pots & Pans and Normal
cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to
meet the NSF/ANSI requirements.
Heated Dry
Select this option to dry dishes with heat.
Switching off Heated Dry skips the dry period. This is useful when
loads contain plastic dinnerware that may be sensitive to high
temperatures. The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting
may occur. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.
For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid.
NOTE: Heated Dry is an option with all cycles, except GLASS
XPRESS and Rinse Only cycles. Heated Dry begins
automatically with all cycles unless you switch it off.
