Wash Cycle Selections
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options
selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher
detergent and melt fatty food soils. In the main wash and
final rinse portions of the cycle, additional heating time may
be added as needed to assure that tempertures critical to
wash and rinse are achieved. Selection of higher
temperature options for heavier soils or to sanitize
dishware will result in longer cycle responses. 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 INSTRUCTIONS
Options Selections
Wash Pressure
The programmed cycles default to the “surge” pressure
option which varies the pressure optimally for the cycle’s
intended normal use. If, for some special circumstance,
either a very low “spray” or very high “scour” pressure is
desired that may be selected. Due to wash cycle
optimization , some pressure options are not selectable in
all wash cycles.
Hi-Temp Wash
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher
heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F
(60°C).
This increase in water temperature helps
dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from
dishes more effectively and aids in drying. This option is
available in NORMAL WASH and TOP RACK. HI-TEMP WASH
is automatically provided when POWER PLUS cycle is
selected.
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press
START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will start a 90
second drain. At the end of the drain, select the desired
cycle.
When an option is selected, the light above the pad will
come on and remain on until end of cycle. To turn off
the option, press the pad a second time. The light
above the pad turn off.
NOTE
Your dishwasher uses a DishSense TM Techology to understand
how heavily soiled the dish load is and to adjust the cycle
accordingly. This sensor is calibrated at the end of the cycle.
The sensor will not be calibrated for the first cycle run after
power has been removed from the dishwasher. To assure
you get clean dishes the unit defaults to the cycle option that is
suited for heavy soils on this first run after power is restored.
