Key Features & Highlights

• Compact but Capable
  Designed to fit into tight kitchen spaces, this dishwasher can replace under-counter appliances like a trash compactor without sacrificing functionality. 

• Quiet Operation
  Operating at 52 dB, this unit runs quietly so it doesn’t interfere with conversation or ambient noise. 

• Multiple Wash Cycles & Options
  Choose from 6 wash cycles (Heavy, Normal, ECO, Glass, Rapid, Rinse) and 3 additional options (Sanitize, Hi-Temp, Heated Dry) to suit your dishes. Heated dry is available in all cycles except the rinse-only option. 

• Leak Sensor Protection
  A built-in leakage sensor monitors for irregular water flow and automatically shuts off water to minimize risk of water damage. 

• User-Friendly Controls
  The front digital push-button panel with a display allows for intuitive cycle and option selection. A Delay function can postpone your wash up to 24 hours. A control panel lock helps prevent accidental use. 

• Interior Layout & Access
  The unit includes a silverware basket and upper cup tray to optimize space use. Rack assembly glides smoothly on slider wheels for easier loading and unloading. Two spray arms ensure thorough water coverage. 

• Rinse Aid Dispenser
  A dedicated rinse aid compartment helps reduce spots, improve drying effectiveness, and limit film build-up (rinse aid sold separately). 

• Stainless Steel Tub (interior)
  The interior is constructed of stainless steel, which improves durability and drying performance.
