Your dishwasher uses energy effi cient motors 
for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you 
select.  Each cycle has a series of water fi lls 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 of 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.

The yellow energy guide label that came on your 
unit tells how much energy it would use in one year 
and how it compares to others that are available.  
The energy is based on the Normal cycles 
response to tests that apply soils and dishware that 
simulate the average use.  Eight place settings of 
dishware and some serving pieces are used during 
the test.  The total energy is based on running 
the average number of cycles per year, applying 
typical soil levels to the dishware and half the time, 
selecting the option of using extra energy to more 
fully dry the dishware.  Actual energy and water use 
will depend upon the cycle and options you select.
This will help the cleaning and it will also get the 
dishwasher hotter.  When the fi nal drain removes 
all standing water, the extra heat stored in the 
dishware will act to evaporate the remaining water.
Your unit provides a selection of cycles.  In general, 
the more water used by a cycle and the hotter the 
temperatures it reaches the more energy that it 
uses.  Several cycles, such as the Normal cycle will 
change their response based on soil level, options 
selected, and ambient conditions.  The Normal 
cycle is good for all around use.  Other cycles are 
focused toward special use like the Heavy cycle 
that is designed for heavily solid cookware.
If the user prefers to save energy and dry the 
dishes by hand they select air dry instead of 
heated dry.  Air dry is still an option.  If you prefer to 
spend slightly more energy to get the dishes drier 
then turn the air dry option off.  In response the 
wash and rinse temperatures in the cycle will be 
increased.
This unit uses an in-line water heating element 
that is located under the tub.  There is no exposed 
heater that plasticware might come in contact 
with or that is accessible to touch.  The heat is 
taken to the dishware through the heated water.  
For this reason, plastic dishware may be placed 
where it best fi ts in either the top or bottom 
rack.  Temperatures are uniform throughout the 
dishwasher.

Your dishwasher pad lights when either the Cycle 
or Option desired is selected.  All cycle and option 
pads have a white back light when the pads are 
deselected and turn blue when selected.  In Delay 
selection and Rinse Aid setting, the deselected 
pads are turned off.
       NOTE
Your unit has DishSense
TM
 Technology that 
is used to understand how heavily soiled the 
dish load is so the cycle can be automatically 
adjusted to the appropriate response.  This 
helps to prevent energy waste.  The sensor is 
calibrated at the end of the cycle.  For the fi rst 
cycle after power is applied (when fi rst installed 
or after a power failure) the sensor will not be 
calibrated and so cannot determine the soil 
load.   Therefore, your unit will provide a response 
suitable for heavy soils on the fi rst run after power 
is restored.  This will assure that whatever is 
loaded will be cleaned.  Energy use during this 
fi rst run may be higher than would be typical.
