• Size: Standard 24-inch width, fitting common dishwasher cutouts.

• Appearance: Features a stainless steel exterior with hidden controls on the top edge of the door, providing a clean, uninterrupted front when the door is closed.

Washing System & Performance:

• Wash System: Utilizes a multi-level wash system with several spray arms to ensure water reaches all areas of the dishes.

• Hard Food Disposer: Features a built-in hard food disposer that grinds up food particles, eliminating the need to pre-rinse dishes before loading.

• Steam PreWash: An option that uses a burst of steam before the main wash cycle to loosen tough, dried-on food, reducing the need for manual scrubbing.

• Wash Cycles: Offers a variety of wash cycles to suit different needs, such as AutoSense (which detects soil level), Heavy Wash, Normal Wash, and Speed Cycles. It also typically includes a Rinse Only/Hold cycle.

• Wash Options: Common options include Delay Start (to postpone the wash), Heated Dry (for better drying), and a Sanitize option (certified to reduce certain bacteria).

• Sensor Technology: Uses sensors to detect how dirty the dishes are and adjusts the wash cycle and water usage accordingly for optimal cleaning.

Drying Capabilities:

• Heated Dry: Employs a heating element to assist in the drying process, helping dishes come out drier.

• Fan Assist Dry: A hidden fan works to circulate warm air, enhancing drying performance, especially for plastic items that can be difficult to dry.

Racks and Loading Flexibility:

• Tall Tub Design: The interior is designed to be tall, allowing for the loading of oversized platters and cookware.

• Adjustable Upper Rack: The upper rack can be easily moved up or down to accommodate tall items in either the top or bottom rack.

• Fold-Down Tines: Both upper and lower racks often have foldable tines, providing flexibility to load large or oddly shaped items.

Convenience and Other Features:
