Wash Cycles
Heavy Wash Use for heavily soiled dishes like pots, pans, casserole dishes, etc. Additional
smaller items may be added after the larger items if there is still space to
conserve water and energy.
Normal Wash Use for normally soiled plates, glasses, bowls, serving dishes and lightly
soiled pans. This cycle is best for normally soiled mixed loads.
Quick Wash Use for very lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after use. This
cycle can also be used for very lightly soiled glass, coffee cups, china or
other delicate items.
Rinse and Hold Use to rinse dishes that you plan to wash later that day or for rinsing the
dishes while waiting for the machine to be filled. The temperature setting
cannot be changed for this cycle.
