SELECT THE CYCLE
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
causedby overheating during
6 NORMAL SOIL cycle isfor
mostloadsof everydaydishes,
glassesandcookware.
● 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.
