Middle Spray Arm Rinse Aid Dispenser Lower Spray Arm Utility Tray The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS Your dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may or may not hear the drain motor. You may also hear the splashing water as it enters the tub and the spray arms as they rotate and circulate water. The wash motor often pulsates throughout the cycle, which varies water pressure and optimizes performance. Operating Instructions WASH CYCLE SELECTIONS Cycle times are approximate and vary by options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor checks the water temperature for the main wash of each cycle. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. CYCLE SELECTIONS The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Auto, Normal and Eco 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. Cookware For pots, pans, casseroles and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soils. Water usage is approximately 9.5 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 130 to 149 mins. Auto Wash When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash will automatically be performed. When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be performed. The dishwasher's Smart Sensor technology will determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time. Water usage ranges from approximately 5.5 to 10.7 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 99 to 162 mins. Normal Wash For regularly soiled dishes and silverware. Water gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 91 to usage ranges from approximately 4.2 to 9.3 144 mins. Eco Wash For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately 5.6 to 6.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 78 to 80 mins. Stemware For lightly soiled China and Crystal. Water usage is approximately 6.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 85 to 92 mins. Operating Instructions Delay Time ENERGY OPTION SELECTIONS Sanitize To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. SANITIZE touchpad will turn white. This option heats the water temperature in the final rinse to 157°F (69.4°C) and maintains that temperature for 7 minutes. SANITIZE is available in Auto, Cookware, and Normal cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements. The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C). If the SANITIZE option was selected, “SA” will be displayed at the end of the cycle. “SA” will not display at the end of the cycle if the NSF requirements for sanitization are not reached. T...
