When selecting a cycle, you should consider the soil condition of the load. Then use the cycle most suited to that soil condition.
@ POTSCf?iJBBEFicycle-When
usingthiscycle, lesspreparation is required before loading. The
Potscrubbercycle can wash heavily-soileddishesand remove manydried-on and baked-on soils
from pots,pans and casseroles.
Burned-on soils may not come clean, especially if the surface of the utensil isold or damaged. And the dishwashercannot remove burn marksor restore fading

THE
RINSE ONLY cycle shouldbe
selected when you haveonlya
partial loadandplanto wait until the dishwasherisfilled before washing.DO NOT USE DETER­GENT IN THE RINSE ONLY CYCLE.
O SHORT WASH cycle is for dishes that are mildlysoiledwith
soilsthat have not dried on. Also everyday dishesthat have had extra preparationbefore loading. Use thiscycleto savewater and energy.
@ DRWNG OPTIONS HEATED DRYING–Turns the
drying heater on for fastdrying. ENERGY SAVER (no-heatdrying)–
Turnsthe drying heater off auto­maticallyto save energy. Dishes dry naturallyover a longer period
suchasovernight. If you need your dishessooner,
open the dishwasherdoorafter the cycle iscomplete to reduce the natural drying time.
Use of thisoption reduces the electrical energy usedbythis model approximately 8%.
