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 NSF requirements, 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 specic 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 a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certi 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 NSF Certication is available
at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.
Your dishwasher is NSF certied. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certied 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.
