Why Energy Efficicent Units run long cycles: Several
factors are important to washing disware. The energy
use of your dishwasher was reduced by applying more of
the factors that don't use so much energy and less of the
ones that use more. As a result, you will see that the
wash cycles take longer.
Very Important Information--
Read Before Operating Your
Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashers--IT'S QUIETER.
Your dishwasher with it's Precision Direct Wash
System® has many enhancements to reduce it's
sound level. Still, it is normal to hear some of what is
going on inside. The was cycles include several
instances of water entering the unit (splashing), the
wash pump running to spray water on the dishware
(motor & splashing) and the drain pump running to
dishcharge the dirty water and soils. Variations in the
pumping/spraying sounds are normal. During a cycle
the pump switches on and off many times, and
operation switches back and forth between wash arms
to provide the best cleaning performance.
If you select the Normal Cycle, twice during the cycle
you will hear the wash motor going on and off at a
much different cadence. The pump will pulse several
times, repeatedly turning on for less than a second
and off for 10 seconds. This allows it to drive soils off
the filter and into the drain while using very little
water. If, after selecting the Normal Cycle, you select
either the Sanitize or Hi-Temp Wash options your
dishwasher will understand that a stronger wash is
needed and it will not use this pulsing routine.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this
dishwasher to previous models, you may be
surprised at what you DON'T hear!
