Wash Cycle Selections

Note: Cycle times are approximate and will

vary with options selected. Hot water is

necessary to activate dishwasher detergent

and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor

will check the incoming water temperature

and, if it is not hot enough, the timer will be

delayed for automatic water heating in the

main wash of all cycles. This happens even

when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been

selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an

even higher temperature will be guaranteed to

handle heavier soil loads.

Operating Your Dishwasher!

Normal Operating

Sounds

This dishwasher does not sound like most

dishwashers—IT’S QUIETER.
The new Precision Wash System™ 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.
The next sound you will hear is the

splashing water as it enters the tub. Then

the lower arm rotates and circulates water.

This is followed by a pause and a slightly

different sound as the middle arm sprays

water. If you listen closely, you will hear the

change in sound as the wash action switches

from one arm to the other.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this

dishwasher to previous models, you may

be surprised at what you DON’T hear!
