■ To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
■ Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.
These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normal
cycle.
■ Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
■
During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
■ Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow
longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use
a rinse aid to improve drying.
■
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
■ Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
■ If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
Cycle Selection Chart
Select the wash cycle and options desired. The dishwasher starts
filling once you press a cycle, unless you select a delay wash.
You can select an option as the machine is filling.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle unless new
options are selected or Cancel/Drain is selected.
A “
●
” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have
some or all of the cycles shown.
Display time is for models with the dual digit display on the
console.
Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
NOTE: Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle
time indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the
soil level on dishes and temperature of the water entering the
dishwasher. The cooler the water, the longer the cycle time. If the
water is already hot enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
Your electronic dishwasher senses the soil level on your dishes.
Soil level determines the length of some cycles, the amount of
heat added to a wash or rinse, and the number of washes and
rinses in a cycle.
Cycle time depends upon the soil on the dishes, and water usage
may be higher for large amounts of soil.
Use this cycle for hard-
to-clean, heavily-soiled
pots, pans, casseroles,
and regular tableware.
Use both detergent
dispenser sections.
