This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.

Targets toughest food soils. Use for hard-to-clean heavily soiled pots, pans,

casseroles, and tableware.

Load and soil sensing cycle. This cycle is optimized to achieve improved cleaning

with minimal water and energy for all soil levels.

This cycle with only the Heated Dry option selected, and without other options

selected, is recommended to completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled

dishes. The energy usage label is based on this cycle and option combination.

For fast results, this cycle will clean light to medium soiled dishes, but use slightly

more water and energy. For improved drying, select a heat dry option.

Use for rinsing dishes, glasses, and silverware that will not be washed right away.

Do not use detergent. During cycle, the rinse action will repeatedly pause for

several seconds.

*Cycle times may increase depending on water temperature, heavy soil condition, dish load size, and options selected.

Adding options will add time to cycle. See options information.

Runs dishwasher at a later time or during off-peak

electrical hours. Select a wash cycle and options.

Press DELAY one time for each additional hour of

delay up to 24 hours. Press START/RESUME.

Close door firmly.

NOTE: Anytime door is opened (such as, to add a

dish), The Start/Resume button must be pressed

again to resume delay countdown.

Raises main wash temperature to improve cleaning

for loads containing tough, baked-on food.

Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance

with NSF International NSF/ANSI Standard 184

for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential

dishwashers are not intended for licensed food

establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have been

designed to meet the requirements of the NSF/

ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal

and for sanitization efficacy. There is no intention,

either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a NSF/

ANSI 184 certified dishwasher meet the NSF/ANSI

184 performance standard for soil removal and for

sanitization efficacy.

At end of the cycle, the sanitized indicator or word

"sanitized", on some models, will glow. If your load

did not properly sanitize, the indicator will flash at

the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle

is interrupted, or if the water does not reach the

required temperature. The light goes off when you

open and close the door or press CANCEL.
