Lastly, here is the chart detailing cycle action, length, and amount of water used. As you can see, the rinse-only cycle doesn't begin until the timer advances through the pre-wash and rinse cycles, and uses the main wash cycle. This is why I advance the timer dial manually to the main wash when I am using it for rinse/hold, otherwise incoming water wouldn't be very hot. I think it's interesting that only the "Heavy" and "Sani-" steam cycles provide a rinse between pre-wash and main wash. I don't know what the logic was behind bypassing that rinse for "Full" steam and "Regular Wash" cycles. Surprisingly, this machine doesn't use all that much more water than the Motley Maytag it replaced.

I'm hoping to post a decent shot of the BobLoad I processed recently, but may need to tweak it a bit since it was taken by phone.

Hmm, I'm a little miffed. I nevfer got any royalties for any of my dishwasher load photos being used in their manuals. But I sure did well didn't I!! (Except for the "shelf", those photos look like so many typical loads when we had ours). Although mine could get quite more crammed with certain stuff. Plus, get rid of that flatware basket on the right side (since that side didn't hold as many plates as the left side.) That allowed for so much other stuff. I'll have to get my mom's old 10" Cornflower skillet out of the cabinet and show it that pic A to see if it still remembers so many times being placed in that exact same spot. It's ironic, every time I use any of that corning ware, I think of our Waste King. Ralph, I'll have to email you about cycle questions.

Cycle Questions

Hey Bob, just fire when ready and I'll refer to the manual to answer any questions you have.

I prefer the pix of the lower rack too. They did a good job of filling up every last inch of space. I've removed one of the flatware baskets in order to accommodate a large item in the past. I find that I rarely need to use both baskets anyway, and save the one that's a further reach for larger utensils, so often I find myself running loads where that basket has nothing in it.
