Descriptions:  

Quick Wash

a Heated Dry (Short or Long) option.  

NOTE: Some detergents are not recommended for short wash cycles; please refer to your detergent  

packaging for more information.  

Silverware Basket  

Normal  

This dishwasher’s government energy certifications were based on the Normal cycle with only the Heated  

Dry (Short) option selected.** This cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash  

and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes.  

NOTE: Make sure no spray arms are blocked & are rotating freely.  

Enhanced Wash This cycle is an enhanced Normal Cycle, and it uses more liters of water and heats it to a higher  

temperature throughout a longer cycle time to improve cleaning performance. Defaults to Heated Dry (Long)  

for improved drying. Includes a Heated Dry (Short or Long) option.*  

Heavy  

Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware. Defaults to Heated Dry  

(Long) for improved drying. Includes a Heated Dry (Short or Long) option.*  

Extended Soak  

This cycle quietly soaks dishes with an extended prewash which eliminates the need to presoak dishes,  

saving personal time and effort. For optimal cleaning results during this cycle, add prewash detergent. Use  

this cycle for loads with heavy amounts of dried-on or hard-to-clean baked-on food. Defaults to Heated Dry  

(Long) for improved drying. Includes a Heated Dry (Short or Long) option.*  

Step 2. Add Detergent  

High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance.
