Wash Cycles

Daily Wash

Use for dishes that are washed on a daily basis. This cycle can also deal with dried food, though the short pre-washes are not designed for dishes with burned on food.

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.

Eco Wash

Use when you want to save energy when washing normally soiled 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 wash temperature setting cannot be changed for this cycle.

Saving on Water and Energy Costs

To save energy, wait to run the wash cycle until the dishwasher is full.

Use the Rinse and Hold cycle to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.

If the dishes are only lightly soiled, wash at a lower temperature.

Do not rinse dishes under running water. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading.
