Dishwasher Cycles and Options

Wash Cycles
Note: In order to save energy, it is recommended to set the "Auto Power Off" feature
(available on select models) to P:01 (see manual section titled "Auto Power Off").
Heavy: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These
dishes would normally require soaking.
Auto: Our smartest cycle, with our most flexible soil sensing capability,
this cycle is optimal for use with mixed dishware and food soils.
Glass: A cycle for lightly soiled dishes, ideal for temperature sensitive items
or cutlery. In this cycle the temperature is reduced to help prevent dishes
from becoming damaged. It is especially helpful to reduce a cloudy or
etched appearance on glasses.
Note: Some glasses are more prone to etching due to glass manufacturing processes.
Normal: This is the cycle recommended for daily, regular or typical use to
completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes.
In order to obtain optimal performance with minimum energy consumption, it is recommended to disable
all available options and settings, except "Auto Power Off" as noted at the start of this section.
Note 1: See footnote for additional energy test setup instructions.
Express: Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time.
Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert dishware that may need to
be reused at the same event.
Rinse: Allows you to rinse food soil off of a partial load and hold the
dishes in the dishwasher until you are ready to run a full load. Do not
use detergent in this cycle.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24
hours.
SpeedPerfect™: SpeedPerfect™ is an option that allows saving time with-
out sacrificing wash and dry performance. Selecting this option ensures
the same final temperatures as the underlying cycle, while heating up the
dishes quicker. Also, selecting this option increases energy consumption
but also reduces cycle time. The SpeedPerfect™ option is available with
Heavy, Auto, Eco and Normal cycles.
Half Load: The Half Load option can reduce the water consumption when
washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dish-
washer's capacity.
Delicate: The Delicate option is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Nom-
ral cycles. This cycle is best used for lightly soiled items with easy to
remove food soils.
Sanitize: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal
cycles. Select one of these cycles, press the "Sanitize Option" button and
then press Start to activate the Sanitation features. The sanitize LED will
light when sanitation requirements are met. The technical sanitation mea-
sures may also improve the drying results.
Note 1: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal or Regular soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit
was tested without any Rinse Aid (liquid) in the Rinse Aid chamber. A single dose of detergent was insert-
ed into the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected
to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads such as the
15
one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.
