SELECT THE CYCLE
When selecting a cycie, you should
consider the soil condition of the load.
Then use the cycle most suited to
that soi! condition.
8 POTSCRUBBER cycle is designed
to remove DRIED-ON and BAKED-ON
soils.These soils will be removed
from utensilsthagare in good condition
if you follow loading and operating
instructionscarefully.
U is especially important to load items
with heavy, DRIED-ON or BAKED-ON
soils such as pots, pansand casseroles
open end down in the iower rack facing
directly toward the lower wash arm,
In this positionthe items will receive
the most vigorous wash action for
maximum soil removal.
As you would expect, severely
BURNED-ON soiis occasionally may
not be completely removed, especially
if the surface of the utensil is etched,
pitted or otherwise in poor condition.
After washing items of this type, any
remaining soils should be removed
by hand.
Discoloration of utensils caused by
overheating during cooking cannot be
removed by the dishwasher.
@ NORMAL SOIL cycle is for most
loads of everyday dishes, glasses and
cookware,
@ SHORT WASH cycle is for dishes
that are mildly soiled with soils that
have not dried on. Also everyday dishes
that have had extra preparation before
loading. Use this cycle to save water
and energy.
O RINSE ONLY cycle should be
selected when you have only a partial
load and plan to wait until the dish-
washer is fi Iled before washing.
DO NOT USE DETERGENT IN THE
RINSE ONLY CYCLE,
@ DRYING OPTIONS
HEATED DRYING--Press
this button
and the drying heater is turned on to
provic]e heated air over the dishes for
fast drying.
NO HEAT DRYI NG– Press this button
and the drying healer is disconnected
to save electrical energy and allow
the dishes to dry by their own heat over
time. This option is best used when
the dis~?esare washecl at night and can
remain in the dishwasher until the
next morning. Natural drying time wiii
be reduced if you operl the dishwasher
door after the cycie is compiete.
Use of this option reduces the
electrical energy used by this modei
approximately 8%.
