Cycle Guide
This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.
| Cycles: | Descriptions: | Soil Level: | Estimated Wash Time (Hr:Min): | Added Water Usage Gallons (Liters): |
| Heavy | Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware. Includes a heated drying option. | Heavy/Baked-On | 2:30–3:30 | 7.5 (28.3) |
| Normal | This cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes. This dishwasher’s government energy certifications were based on the Normal cycle with only the Heat Dry option selected.** | Light to Heavy | 2:00–3:30 | 3.0–7.5 (11.4–28.1) |
| Quick Wash | For fast results, this cycle will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy. For improved drying, select a heated drying option. NOTE: Some detergents are not recommended for short wash cycles; please refer to your detergent packaging for more information. | All Soil Levels | 1:00–1:05 | 5.8 (21.9) |
| 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. This cycle includes a heated drying option. | Dried-On/Baked- On | 6:40–7:35 | 7.5 (28.3) |
| Boost | This cycle is more aggressive than the Normal Cycle using a higher amount of energy, water and temperature along with a longer cycle time to provide improved cleaning performance. This cycle includes the heated dry option.* | All Soil Levels | 2:00–3:30 | 4.4–7.5 (16.7–28.3) |
The government energy certifications are not based on this cycle and may increase your energy usage. See the Normal cycle description for the government energy certification cycle. No other washing and drying temperature options were selected, and the dishwasher was not subjected to truncated testing. Rinse aid was not used, and there was no detergent used in the prewash.
Option Guide

Turn the Heat Dry option off for an air dry. | Heavy Normal | Uses a heating element to speed drying times. | 0:52 | 0 |

| Sani Rinse | Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF International NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of the NSF/ ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a NSF/ ANSI 184 certified dishwasher meet the NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization efficacy. The Sani Rinse indicator glows at the end of the cycle if the Sani Rinse option was successfully completed. If the indicator does not activate, it is probably due to the cycle being interrupted. | Sensor Heavy Normal | Raises the main wash temperature to 130°F (54°C) and the final rinse temperature to 155°F (68°C). | 1:00–1:30 | 0–2.6 (0–10.0) |
