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, as this may contribute to poor wash performance.

Cycle Selection Charts

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 Air 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.

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.
