:: : ))) Your dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of
the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing
and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may-or may not-hear the drain
motor. You may also hear the splashing water as it enters the tub and the spray
arms water• w
as they rotate and circulate The ash motor often pulsates throughout
the cycle which varies water pressure and optimizes performance

Cycle times are approximate and vary by options selected. Hot water is necessary
to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils.
An automatic sensor checks the incoming water temperature for the main wash of
each cycle, delaying the timer if necessary, until the water is hot enough. When HI-
TEMP WASH is selected, the sensor checks for an even higher temperature.

The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Auto, Heavy, Normal
and Short Wash cycles. Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if
additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes or if water fills can be deleted.
Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes.
Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water
temperature.

AutoWash
When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a wash cycle
similar to a short wash will automatically be performed. When a full load of heavily
soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be
performed. The dishwasher's Smart Sensor technology will determine the type of
cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time. Water
usage ranges from 3.7 to 7.3 gallons. Wash time ranges between 1.2 and 1.6
hours.
HeavyWash
For pots, pans, casseroles and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soils. Water
