 button. use this button to start the dishwasher after selecting a wash cycle or the 

rinse cycle (see page 13). it can also be used to pause the dishwasher in the middle of a wash or 

rinse cycle.

the 

auto-Wash

 setting senses the size of the load and the amount of soil, then automatically 

selects the best wash cycle to clean the dishes and cookware properly. the cycle time is 72 to 96 

minutes.

the 

Heavy

 wash setting is best for very dirty tableware and cookware. the cycle time is 90 to 96 

minutes.

the 

normal

 wash setting is best for normal soil on dishes and silverware. the cycle time is 78 to 

96 minutes.

the 

short

 wash setting is best for lightly soiled or pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. it is also 

good for lightly soiled items that have been pre-rinsed. the cycle time is 72 to 90 minutes.

press the 

rinse

 button if you want to run the rinse portion of the cycle only. the dry cycle will 

not run. also, use this setting to rinse tableware that you do not want to wash right away. the 

cycle time is about 20 minutes.

Special Feature Buttons

when the 

Hi-temp

 feature is selected, the water is heated to about 140 °f (60 °c) during the 

wash portion of the cycle. washing at a higher temperature helps the detergent dissolve grease 

and grime better and the dishes dry more efficiently. It can be selected with any wash cycle, but 

not the 

rinse

 cycle.

the 

sanitize

 feature rinses the dish ware with rinse water heated to a temperature of 155 °f 

(68 °c) for maximum sanitization and drying (see page 14). it can be selected with any wash 

cycle, but not the 

rinse

 cycle.

the 

Delay

 start feature allows you to set the dishwasher to start at a later time (see page 14).
