la SELECT THE CYCLE
When selecting acycle, you
should consider the soil condition
of the load. Then use the cycle
most suited to that soil condition.
OPOTSCRUE3BERcycle–When
usingthis cycle, less preparation
isrequired before loading. The
Potscrubbercycle can wash
heavily-soiled dishesand remove
manydried-on and baked-on soils

Burned-on soilsmay not come
clean, especially if the surface of
the utensil isold or damaged. And
the dishwashercannot remove
burn marksor restore fading
causedby overheating during
cooking.
“s to follow the
ing instructions in your Use
SOIL cycle is for
most loads of everyday dishes,
