CYCLE SELECTIONS
Dishwasher senses the soil amount and adjusts cycle times.
This cycle, with only the Heat Dry option selected, and
without other options selected, is recommended to
completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled
dishes. The energy usage label is based on this cycle
and option combination. Includes Heat Dry.
Use for lightly soiled items or china and crystal. Includes
Heat Dry.
When you need fast results, the Express Wash will clean
dishes using slightly more water and energy. Does not
include Heat Dry. Select the Heat Dry or ProDry™ option
to include automatic drying.
Use for rinsing dishes, glasses, and silverware that will
not be washed right away. Does not include Heat Dry.
Do not use detergent.
Wash times depend on water temperature, heavy soil condition, dish load size and options selected.
*Adding options will add time to the cycle. See options information section.
** This is the approximate cycle time obtained with 120°F (49°C) hot water available at the dishwasher. Increase in time results from low
temperature of the incoming water.
OPTION SELECTIONS
OPTIONS
Uses the Advanced ProDry™ system to
dry dishes with heat and a fan. The Heat
Dry option, with the use of rinse aid, will
provide better drying performance.
Plastic items are less likely to deform
when loaded in the top rack.
Turn the Heat Dry option off for air dry.
When models have only the ProDry™
button, ProDry™ operates like Heat Dry.
On models with both options, ProDry™
is used with Heat Dry to extend the
heated drying time. For the very best
drying performance, use rinse aid and
the ProDry™ option.
Lower jets spray, from behind the lower
rack, to clean pans, casseroles, etc. that
have tough food soil to eliminate the
and (on some
need for soaking and scrubbing of dirty,
models)
baked-on dishes.
The upper rack has two spray zones in
the front corners to reach into deeper or
oddly shaped items.
Raises the main wash temperature to
improve cleaning for loads containing
tough, baked-on food.
(on some models) The upper rack has six
retractable spray nozzles that reach into
deeper items such as sports bottles, baby
bottles or oddly shaped items. Flip the
nozzles up to use them and down to
move them out of the way.
