Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.

These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal 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, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.

Cycle Selection Charts

Select the wash cycle and options desired and press START/

RESUME. The dishwasher starts filling once you press START/

RESUME, unless you select a delay wash. You can change cycles and options as the machine is filling.

After completing a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the cycle and options. It uses the same cycle and options again in the next wash cycle, if you press only START/RESUME.

NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The cycle will not resume until the door is closed and Start/Resume is pressed.

A “

●

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

Display time is for models with the dual digit display on the console.

These models meet the ENERGY STAR

®

guidelines for energy efficiency.

Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. The cycle countdown (on some models) pauses at these points until water reaches the temperature.

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