What is the China Crystal cycle used for?
This gentler program is designed for lightly soiled, heat-sensitive or fragile dishware.
It typically reduces wash intensity or temperature to give glassware and delicate items more careful treatment.
Choose another cycle for: Heavy pots, baked-on food and items whose care label says hand wash only.
What this means for your load
The documentation lists 120 minutes for this program under its stated conditions.
Published water use: 5.1 gal. This figure applies to the documented test conditions and may be a range when the appliance senses the load.
Why the time may change: Drying selections and incoming water temperature can affect both time and final results.
