Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle with all available options turned off. As pre-
scribed in the energy test procedure, the unit was tested without any rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser. A sin-

conducted with the upper rack in the lowest position.

ciency. Always make sure that the items are dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section of this manual
for further information. Hand washing may be the best treatment for such items.
