†A small amount of water is run through the pump to remove 

soil particles between the main wash and final rinse.

*If the incoming water temperature is less than the 

recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle 
will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water 
as needed.

**Hard water is defined as 7 grains per U.S. gallon and above.

NOTE: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. 
Cycle time and/or water usage can vary from the numbers above 
as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance.
