Cycle And Option Descriptions - Maytag Dishwasher User Instructions

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 best 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 heated 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.

electrical hours. Select a wash cycle and options.

licensed food establishments. This option will add
