options.

Hi-Temp Scrub

Select this option to raise the water temperature in the main 
wash, and add a rinse. The higher water temperature, and added 
rinse, help clean tough soils.

This option adds heat, water and wash time to the cycle.

NOTE: Hi-Temp Scrub is an option with the Heavy and Normal 
cycles.

ENERGY SAVER™ Dry System

Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy. 
ENERGY SAVER™ Dry System is useful when loads contain 
plastic dinnerware that may be sensitive to high temperatures.

The dishes take longer to dry, and some spotting can occur. For 
best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics) 
may need towel drying. 

NOTE: Rinse Only automatically uses this option. ENERGY 
SAVER™ Dry System is an option with all other cycles.

Control Lock 

Use Control Lock to prevent unintended use of your dishwasher. 
You can also use the control lock feature to prevent unintended 
cycle or option changes during a cycle.

When CONTROL LOCK is lit, all buttons are disabled.

Status Indicators

Water Heating

WATER HEATING glows, and the cycle progression pauses, 
whenever water is heated during a cycle.

Wash or rinse action continues as the water heats.

Clean

CLEAN glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns on when 
you open the door. The light turns off when you close the door or 
press CANCEL.

Wash System

The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results. 
Four levels of filtration, and a soil collector system, filter the wash 
water and prevent food particles from redepositing on the clean 
dishes.

The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra-Fine 
filter, trapping food particles. 

Two water jets, located under the spray arm remove the food 
particles from the Ultra-Fine filter.

A coarse strainer prevents bones, pits, and other large 
objects from entering the pump system.

NOTE: Periodically check the coarse strainer and remove any 
objects on the strainer.
