Wash Cycle Selections
Note: Cycle times are approximate and will
vary with options selected. Hot water is
necessary to activate dishwasher detergent
and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor
will check the incoming water temperature
and, if it is not hot enough, the timer will be
delayed for automatic water heating in the
main wash of all cycles. This happens even
when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been
selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected,
an even higher temperature will be guaranteed
to handle heavier soil loads.
