Select a Cycle
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
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.
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 with only the ProDry™ 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.
Use for lightly soiled items or china and crystal.
When you need fast results, the Express Wash will clean
dishes using slightly more water and energy. Select the
ProDry™ option to speed drying times.
Use for rinsing dishes, glasses, and silverware that will
not be washed right away.
Do not use detergent.
Wash times depend on water temperature, heavy soil condition, dish load size and options selected. Adding options will add time to the
cycle.
*Adding options will add time to the cycle. See options information section.
** This the approximate cycle time obtained with 120°F (49°C) hot water available at the dishwasher. Increase in time results from low
temperature of the incoming water.
