Operating the Dishwasher

Selecting the Proper Wash Cycle
Always make sure your dishware is dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section
of this manual for guidance.
ATTENTION
To avoid damage to delicate or heirloom items, do not wash them in your dishwasher.
Wash Cycles
Wash cycles accessible from this menu include:
Power
Cleans items having baked-on or hard dried-on food soils. These items may require soaking
or hand scouring.
Auto
Takes the guesswork out of cycle selection. The sensors in the dishwasher automatically
adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the soil load.
Basic
Cleans large loads with loosely attached food soils.
Gentle
Cleans delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware, or other special items. Hand washing
may be the best for such items.
Speed
Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses
and desert dishes that may need to be re-used at the same event.
More information on dishwasher cycles is located in the Wash Cycle Information section of
this manual.
