NOTES:

•The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary from the numbers above as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance.

•In the Normal cycle, the dishwasher pauses while soaking. Soaking helps loosen soils on dishes for brilliant results.
