Cycle And Option Descriptions - KitchenAid Dishwasher User Instructions

Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)
See "Cycle and Option Descriptions" charts in the following
section.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is
approximately 2 hours, but can take less or more time to
complete depending on selections.
Select Options (options vary by model)
See "Cycle and Option Descriptions" charts in the following
section.
You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If
you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option.
Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is
selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash.
This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.
CYCLE SELECTIONS
The most advanced and versatile cycle. ProWash™
cycle senses the load size, soil amount, and toughness
of soil, to adjust the cycle for optimal cleaning using
only the amount of water and energy needed.
Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans,
casseroles, and tableware.
This cycle is recommended to completely wash a full
load of normally soiled dishes. Selecting this cycle will
default to the options recommended for normal
amounts of food soil. The energy label is based on this
cycle.
Use for lightly soiled items or china and crystal.
