Small space solution

Fit 8 place settings in this compact dishwasher that offers more flexibility and room to work in the kitchen.

Cycle memory

For quick cleanup of routine messes, this dishwasher remembers the last cycle you picked and automatically chooses it for you the next time.

ADA compliant

This dishwasher meets the Standards for Accessible Design specified by the Americans with Disabilities Act to provide equal access to all.

Stainless steel tub

Make sure dishes come out dry with the stainless steel tub that cools quickly so moisture doesn't condense on the dishes.

Pocket handle

Ensures a convenient grasping.

Quiet cleaning performance

Keep your kitchen quiet during cleanup with a dishwasher sound level of just 50dBA.

Adjustable upper rack

Manually raise or lower the upper rack 2" to better fit tall items.

High-temperature wash option

Gives items such as baby bottles, glassware or dishes a thorough clean.

Dual spray arm

A small space doesn't mean you have to sacrifice cleaning performance thanks to a dishwasher with a separate spray arm in each rack.

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.

Normal cycle

Use to clean up leftover messes from your day-to-day meals.

Heavy cycle

Take care of heavily-soiled messes and other hard-to-clean dishes without the extra effort by adding extra time to the cycle.
