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. |

2.Wait a moment for the steam to clear.
3.Without touching any of the hot surfaces or racks, insert the item into one of the racks, following the normal loading instructions.
4.Close the door.
5.Push on the door handle to make sure that the door is completely shut. Operation will resume.
