  • Features
    • Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)

Dishwasher Buying Guide

  • Tap touch controls: Clean these controls as easily as you use them.
  • Cycle status indicator: The full lit display glows for wash, drain, drying, sanitized and clean along with the time in hours and minutes so there's no need to guess when your dishes will be ready.
  • Flexible loading options: Adjustable upper basket, folding tines, removable upper basket and AnyWare silverware basket.
  • 8-hour delay-start: Lets you set the dishwasher to start running while you're working, sleeping or running errands.
  • In-Door Silverware basket: Frees up rack space by easily fitting on the front of the lower rack or in the door to make room for more dishes.
  • Adjustable upper rack: Manually raise or lower the upper rack two inches to better fit tall items.
  • Stainless steel tub: Promotes drying by retaining heat from wash and rinse cycles. Plus, it cools faster than the dishes so moisture can condense on the interior walls and not the dishes.
  • Accommodates up to 15 place settings: Generous interior space means more clean dishes, fewer loads.
  • TotalCoverage spray arm: Cleans with twice the jets for more coverage. A smarter sequence of spray patterns from multiple nozzles hits dishes throughout the cycle.
  • High temperature wash for better, safer clean: Gives items like baby bottles, glassware or dishes a more thorough clean.
  • Energy Star certified: Energy Star certified models exceed government standards to help save money on your utility bills.
  • Heated dry option: Use a clean, dry dish straight from the dishwasher thanks to added heat for drying. For optimal drying results, use this option with rinse aid.
  • Sensor Cycle: Automatically selects the right wash and dry settings for your load by using two separate sensors to measure temperature, soil level and load size once during the prewash and once during the wash cycle.
  • Normal Cycle: Use for normal amounts of food soil to clean up leftover messes from your day-to-day meals.
  • 1-Hour Wash Cycle: Cleans dishes in half the time compared to Normal cycle with lightly soiled loads so your plates, pans and glasses are thoroughly cleaned up and taken care of in just an hour.
  • Heavy Cycle: Take care of heavily-soiled messes and other hard-to-clean dishes without the extra elbow grease by adding extra time to the cycle.
