Cycles and Water Usage

AUTO CLEAN (Select models)

Manufacturer’s recommended cycle choice for all day-to-day soil types.

HEAVY WASH

Long cycle for heavy food soils. 10 gallons.

NORMAL WASH

Medium cycle for average food soils. Depending on the number of fills, water usage ranges from 4 to 8 gallons.

LIGHT WASH

Short cycle for light food soils. Depending on the number of fills, water usage ranges from 4 to 6 gallons.

RINSE ONLY

Rinses dishes being held until there is a full load. Controls odors. 2 gallons.

NOTE:

Cycle times shown in the numerical display (select models) increase or decrease, based on each load’s soil level, water temperature and selected options.
