Wash Cycle information
NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a "Smart Control" that automatically adjust the cycle based on soil loads and incoming water temperature. The "Smart Control" makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. * If the smart control adjusts to a stronger cycle that meets the NSFrequirements, the NSF light may come on. The cycle times listed in the Use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.
See the Cycles and Options Charts to determine the cycles available for your specific model.
NOTE:On select models, the Half Load feature will reduce the water consumption by approximately 30 percent in the Power Scrub Plus, Regular, and Auto Wash cycles.
A dishwasher or adishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certifi ed by the NSF International to meet very strict requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization.These requirements are explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSFCertification is available
at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp. Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certified are shown in the chart below. When these cycles are complete, the "Sanitized" indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate. However, if your household water supply is too hot your dishwasher's heating time may be reduced, and the Sanitized message may not
show.
