OGRAMS

To select a program, simply press the Program button until the indicator light behind the desired program glows. The
programs are described below:

Heavy Wash (160° F or 130° F)
For the heaviest soiled loads, such as pots, pans, casseroles, etc.

Normal Wash (130° F or 140° F)
For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly
soiled pans.

Quick (85° F or 120° F)
For lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after use. This
program is good for delicate items, such as fine china and crystal,
but you should set the temperature to low and dry the dishes without
heat.

Rinse and hold
To rinse dishes that you plan to wash later that day.

Temperature
The dishwasher has two temperature options for each wash program, as shown above. When this button
is set on the high temperature, the main wash is heated to the higher temperature for the selected
program. If it is set to low, the main wash is heated to the lower temperature. The indicator light will glow
only when the high temperature is selected.
Drying
This option speeds up the drying process by raising the temperature in the final rinse to 160° F to heat
the dishes and tank before the drying cycle begins. The indicator light will glow only when this option is
activated.

Program Times

The program times may not always be the same because of variations in the household hot water temperature. The
dishwasher heats the water to the proper temperature for the program selected; so if the temperature of the water
entering the dishwasher is too low, the dishwasher will run longer because it takes longer to heat the water. Raising
your water heater setting could help to shorten the cycle times.

“The Normal Wash program is
used for the energy label and
based upon AHAM standard.
When testing with more heavy
soil use higher temperature
alternative the Heavy Wash
program.”
