Press a Cycle. The dishwasher starts filling
once you press a Cycle, unless you select
the delay wash. You can press Options as
the machine is filling.
Your electronic dishwasher senses the soil
level on your dishes. Soil level determines
the length of some cycles, the amount of
heat added to a wash or rinse, and the
number of washes and rinses in a cycle.
Cycle time depends upon the soil on the
dishes, and water usage may be higher for
large amounts of soil.
