Operating Instructions

Wash Cycle Selections
The Smart Soil Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Power Plus, Light Wash, and Normal Wash cycles.
Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes or if water fills
can be deleted. Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes. Cycle time will also
vary based on the options selected and the incoming water temperature. Not all cycles available on all models.
