Operation and Cycle Information
This section of the guide provides details on segments of cycles, timing of cycles, temperature
expectations and cycling of the heater during the dry portion of a cycle.
Auto Hot Start
If incoming water temperature is below 75°F, Auto Hot Start is initiated at the beginning of the cycle
in an attempt to purge the home water lines of cooler water. Auto Hot Start can add up to 10 minutes
to overall cycle time. One Auto Hot Start segment includes a 1-minute ll, 1-minute circulate and
70-second drain, repeating this sequence if the 75°F temperature is not met. The dishwasher can
repeat this up to three times, if needed. If the temperature is met in one or two segments, the cycle
advances to the rst prewash segment of the cycle.
Cycle Times
Times will vary depending on options selected, incoming water temperature, and soil level (on some
models).
Incoming water temperature of 120°F through 140°F is recommended.
The cycle chart below explains the segments of a cycle (cycles for all models included, some cycles
are only in select models). The chart below details ll and drain times which depend on either a full or
partial drain. It provides the circulation time in each segment, but does not include dry cycles (see the
Dry System section in this service guide). Times will vary depending on turbidity response (on some
models), options selected and water temperature.

NOTES:
• The previous chart has maximum segment parameters listed. The control will bypass some rinse
cycles if the turbidity sensor detects lower soil than the selected cycle maximum parameter, and
temperature targets are met.
• Selecting the Wash Temp option will add 5 minutes to Pre-Wash 4 (PR4) and Post-Rinse 1 (PW1).
This extra time is used to heat water.
• The Sani/Steam option will change the segments Pre-Wash 4 (PW4), (increasing heater operation).
• The Bottle Wash option (on some models) may increase the cycle time, adding up to 23 minutes;
water usage does not change.
• USA (Upper Spray Arm): When a number is placed before the USA, it indicates the approximate
time in seconds of operation.
• LSA (Lower Spray Arm): When a number is placed before LSA, it indicates the approximate time in
seconds of operation.
• PW: Pre Wash
