the dishwasher’s capacity. to activate, select the Half load button in addition to the power 
scrub plus, regular or auto Wash cycle button.

This option allows you to save energy and water by washing loads small enough to fill the 
top rack only. to activate, select the top rack only button in addition to a cycle. When

With this option you can raise the temperature of the rinse water and increase the drying 
time which will result in improved drying.
