Operating Instructions

WASH CYCLE SELECTIONS

Cycle times are approximate and vary by options selected. Hot water is necessary
to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils.
An automatic sensor checks the incoming water temperature for the main wash of
each cycle, delaying the timer if necessary, until the water is hot enough. When HI-
TEMP WASH is selected, the sensor checks for an even higher temperature.

CYCLE SELECTIONS

The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Auto, Heavy, Normal
and Short Wash cycles. Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if
additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes or if water fills can be deleted.
Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes.
Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water
temperature.
Auto Wash
When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a wash cycle
similar to a short wash will automatically be performed. When a full load of heavily
soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be
performed. The dishwasher's Smart Sensor technology will determine the type of
cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time. Water
usage ranges from 3.7 to 7.3 gallons. Wash time ranges between 1.2 and 1.6
hours.
Heavy Wash
For pots, pans, casseroles and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soils. Water
usage ranges from 6.1 to 7.3 gallons. Wash time ranges between 1.5 and 1.6
hours.
Normal Wash
For regularly soiled dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from 4.9 to 7.3
gallons. Wash time ranges between 1.3 and 1.6 hours.
Short Wash
For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from
3.7 to 6.1 gallons. Wash time ranges between 1.2 and 1.5 hours.
