CONTROLS AND SETTINGS


NOTE
Your dishwasher uses a DishSense
Technology to understand how much
food is on the dishes and then adjusts
the cycle accordingly.
CAUTION
Property Damage Hazard
Before starting dishwasher be sure that
the water is connected and turned on.
Failure to do so may cause damage
to the pump seal and result in water
leakage.

NOTE
The dishwasher is programmed to
remember your last cycle so you do not
have to reset each time. To start the
dishwasher using the same cycle and
options selected on the previous wash,
just press the START/CANCEL pad.
Recommended Cycle for typical
use:
The Normal cycle with its factory default
options of normal temperature and
heated dry together provide the best all
around performance. This cycle selection
is recommended for everyday use and
is suitable for a large range of both dish
load sizes and food quantities remaining
on those dishes.

NOTE
Not all cycles and options available on
all models.

Wash Cycle Selections:
1
Cycle times are approximate and
will vary with options selected.
Hot water is necessary to activate
dishwasher detergent and melt fatty
food soils. An automatic sensor
will check the incoming water
temperature and, if it is not hot
enough, the cycle will be lengthened
for automatic water heating in the
main wash and final rinse of all
cycles. This happens even when
High temp wash option has not been
selected. When High temp wash is
selected, an even higher temperature
will be reached to handle heavier soil
loads.
Temp
2
The programmed cycles default to
the Normal cycle option, to choose
High, press the Temp pad.
High Temp Option
When the High temp option is
selected, the dishwasher heats water
in the main wash to approximately
155 F (68 C).
o o
This increase in water temperature
helps the dishwasher detergent
remove food grease and soil from
dishes more effectively and aids in
improved drying performance. High
temp option can be used with all
cycles except Rinse Only. High temp
is automatically provided when the
Heavy Wash cycle is selected.
When the High temp option is
selected, the light beside the pad
turns on and remains on until the
end of the cycle. Press the pad a
second time to turn off the High
temp option.
Heat Dry
3
The Heat Dry option in combination
with rinse aid will enhance drying
performance. The energy required
to use the Heat Dry option costs
pennies per cycle; however you will
have items in your dish load that will
not be completely dry at the end of
the cycle.
