KitchenAid KDFE104KPS, KDFE104KBL, KDFE104KWH Cycle Guide

Cycle Guide

IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time can take less or over an hour longer than the nominal times listed as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature of 120° or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.

This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.

Guide des programmes

IMPORTANT : Le détecteur incorporé au lave-vaisselle contrôle le degré de saleté. Un programme peut prendre moins de temps ou plus d’une heure de plus que la durée indiquée puisque le capteur règle le programme pour produire le meilleur rendement de lavage possible. Si la température de l’eau d’arrivée est inférieure à la température de 120° recommandée ou que la vaisselle est très sale, le programme compense automatiquement en allongeant la durée du programme et en augmentant la quantité d’eau et le niveau de chaleur, au besoin. Ces informations concernent plusieurs modèles. Ce lave-vaisselle peut ne pas comporter toutes les options et tous les programmes indiqués.
