Wash Cycle Selections: Cycles include Heavy Wash, Normal Wash, Top Rack, and Rinse Only. Times vary with options.

Option Selections: Hi-Temp Wash option increases water temperature for better cleaning and drying. Sanitize option raises water temperature to 155°F (68°C) for 9 minutes. Delay Start allows for delayed operation (2-6 hours). Air Dry deactivates the heater for drying, potentially reducing drying effectiveness.
