Wash times depend on water temperature, heavy soil condition, dish load size and options selected. Adding options will add time to the cycle.

*Adding options will add time to the cycle. See options information section.

**This is the approximate cycle time obtained with 120°F (49°C) hot water available at the dishwasher. Increase in time results from low temperature of the incoming water.
