such as a rinse aid for good
drying performance (sample

with the Heat Dry or ProDry™
option will provide best drying
and avoid excessive moisture
in the dishwasher interior.

Proper Detergent Dosing
It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher.
This can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Add Detergent”
and “Add Rinse Aid” in the “Dishwasher Use” section, to
determine the amount of detergent needed based on your
water hardness.

AquaSense™ Recycling System
This dishwasher uses less water while
maintaining excellent cleaning performance.
This works by using a water reservoir that will
repurpose the water from the final rinse,
reheats it, and uses it to prerinse the dishes in
the next cycle. Fresh water is used to finish
cleaning your dishes. The reservoir is self-
maintained by emptying any unused water
after 3 days at the beginning of the next cycle.
In addition, it automatically runs a cleaning
cycle every 30 days and/or 30 cycles,
whichever comes first, during the next cycle.
