least 1 minute.
2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring
cup.

• To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
• Use the Normal cycle whenever possible. This cycle uses
less hot water and energy than other cycles.
• Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during off-peak hours• Local utilities recommend avoiding
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
• During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
• Use an air dry, or an energy-saving dry option whenever
possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using
these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
• Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
• Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press START to
repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.
NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, the
dishwasher will run the last full wash cycle and options that you
selected when you press Start.
• If the power is off or the door is open for an extended period
of time, the Start button memory will default to the Normal
cycle with heated drying.
• If you do not run the dishwasher daily, close the door to
maintain memory.
A "O" shows what steps are in each cycle.
