Select Tough Scrub ™ Plus when washing loads with
hard-to-remove food soils.
Tough Scrub ™ Plus can be selected with any cycle
(except Rinse Only). Depending on which cycle is
being used, selecting Tough Scrub
™ Plus adds fills, heat
and/or wash time to the wash cycle.
For baked-on, dried-on soils, select Heavy Wash along with
the Tough Scrub
™ Plus option. The use of an enzyme deter-
gent (such as Cascade Plus or Electrosol Tabs*) is recom-
mended.
Select Sanitize with Auto Clean, Heavy, Normal, or
Light Wash to sanitize dishware. At the end of the cycle,
when the cycle monitor recognizes that the proper condi-
tions have been met, the SANITIZED light illuminates.
Select Extra Rinse to add a rinse to the cycle. An extra
rinse helps to improve results in hard water situations.
The extra rinse is already built into the cycle when Heavy
Wash is selected.
Select Heated Dry to turn on the heating element during
dry for enhanced drying results. When Heated Dry is not
selected, towel drying of some items such as plastic and
teflon may be necessary and more moisture may be noticed
adhering to the dishwasher interior. With either dry option,
it is normal to notice vapor escaping from the door vent.
To drain the dishwasher and then turn it off, press
Drain/Off once. Press Drain/Off twice to turn the dish-
washer off without draining.
Indicator Lights
The SANITIZED light illuminates at the end of the cycle
when conditions have been met to achieve sanitization.
Note: When Sanitize is selected, cycles are monitored to
assure sanitization. Unusually low water temperature will
prevent the sanitization protocol from being satisfied and the
SANITIZED light will not illuminate at the end of the
cycle.
The CLEAN light illuminates at the end of the cycle and
remains lit until the door has been open for 30 seconds
continuously.
The DRY light illuminates during the entire dry period
and goes out when the cycle is completed.
The WASH light illuminates during all rinse and wash
portions of the cycle.
The HEATING DELAY light illuminates when the
cycle is being extended to heat the water.
The CLEAN and SANITIZED indicator lights will not re-
illuminate after a power failure until after the next cycle is
run.
Auto Clean
Manufacturer’s recommended cycle choice for all day-
to-day soil types.
Normal dishloads vary from day to day. Auto Clean is
recommended because it adjusts to each load, offering the
best combination of cleaning, energy consumption and
water usage for that load.
Standard cycles:
Heavy Wash
Long cycle for heavy food soils.
Normal Wash
Medium cycle for average food soils.
Light Wash
Short cycle for light food soils.
Rinse Only
Rinses dishes being held until there is a full load.
Controls odors.
Cycle times shown in the numerical display increase
or decrease, based on each load’s soil level, water tem-
perature and selected options.
