4. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C), 

have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermostat 
setting.

■

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before 
putting them into the dishwasher.

■

Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible. 
These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normal 
Wash cycle.

■

Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher 
during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding 
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

■

During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This 
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

■

Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow 
longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use 
a rinse aid to improve drying.

■

Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse 
portion of the cycle only when needed.

■

Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after 
meals until the dishwasher is full.

■

If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want 
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of 
the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash 
performance.

Select the wash cycle and options desired. The dishwasher starts 
filling once you press a cycle, unless you select a delay wash. 
You can select an option as the machine is filling.

Your electronic dishwasher senses the soil level on your dishes. 
Soil level determines the length of some cycles, the amount of 
heat added to a wash or rinse, and the number of washes and 
rinses in a cycle. 

Cycle time depends upon the soil on the dishes, and water usage 
may be higher for large amounts of soil. If dishes are lightly 
soiled, cycle time will be as shown. 

After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used 
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle unless new 
options are selected or Cancel/Drain is selected.

A “●” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have 
some or all of the cycles shown. 

Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added.

Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.

Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time 
indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the 
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the 
water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot 
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
