Silverware Basket  

Normal  

Boost  

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

Heat Dry 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.  

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 Extended  

Dry for improved drying. Includes a heated dry option.*  

Heavy  

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

Extended Dry for improved drying. Includes a heated drying 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 Extended Dry for improved drying. Includes a heated drying option.*  

Step 2. Add Detergent  

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