and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require pre-treatment.
Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher baskets so that the insides
of bowls, pots, and pans are face downwards. Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. Separate items
of dissimilar metals.

Takes the guesswork out of cycle selection. The sensors in the dishwasher
automatically adjust cycle length, temperature and water changes based on
the soil load.
AUTO 113 - 122 °F: This cycle is appropriate for delicate dishwasher
items.
AUTO 130 - 150 °F: This cycle is appropriate for mixed loads.
AUTO 150 - 160 °F: This cycle cleans items having baked-on or hard
dried-on food soils. These items may require
soaking or hand scouring.
1RUPDO
Thoroughly cleans large loads having loosely attached normal soiling.
Quick Wash
For lightly soiled items with easy to remove food soils.
Glass Care
A cycle for lightly soiled dishes which is ideal for temperature sensitive dishes
or cutlery. In this cycle the temperature is reduced to help prevent dishes
from becoming damaged. It is especially helpful to reduce a cloudy or etched
appearance on glasses.
