Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed.

Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after meals until the dishwasher is full.

If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.

CycleSelectionCharts

Press the desired cycle. Turn the cycle control knob to the desired cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start and stop as the cycle control knob passes each cycle mark. This is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can set the cycle control knob with the door unlatched.

To use Rinse Only, press any cycle and turn the cycle control knob to Rinse Only.

NOTE: Use the No Heat Dry option with the Rinse Only cycle.

A “●” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have some or all of the cycles shown.

Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. The cycle control knob pauses as the water heats.

Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.

This model meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.

Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
