Architect Series II
Architect Series II appliances are an evolution of performance and intuitive design that was inspired by, and created for, those who love to cook and entertain. The timeless appearance of the Architect Series II comes in the form of robust contoured handles and knobs, rounded corners, and seamless stainless steel edges.
Here's to 90 years and one important ingredient - you.
It all started in 1919 with the legendary stand mixer. In the 90 years since, they have built an entire kitchen of cooking and cleaning products around the same quality craftsmanship, versatile technology and timeless style. Through it all, the secret ingredient to their success has always been you. Available at Designer Appliances.
Key Features
AquaSense Recycling System
- Water from the last rinse is used to pre-rinse the next load. Fresh water is used to finish the cleaning cycle.
ProWash Cycle
- Determines the appropriate cycle and makes real-time adjustments for best cleaning performance.
ProScrub Option
- Uses 40 targeted spray jets at the back of the dishwasher to help eliminate soaking or pre-scrubbing.
Heat Dry Option
- Delivers faster and more complete drying by activating a recessed heating element during the drying cycle.
Whisper Quiet System
- At 41 dBA, this system offers premium sound insulation that makes it convenient to operate day or night, including when you entertain.
SatinGlide Max Upper Rack
- Allows the rack to move effortlessly when making adjustments.
Shelves On Either Side of Upper Rack
- Fold down to accommodate items such as cups and each shelf includes molded indents to keep stemware in place.
Concealed Controls
- Are located on top of the dishwasher door, giving the front of the dishwasher clean, uninterrupted lines that helps you match other stainless steel appliances.
Fold-Down Tines in Upper and Lower Racks
- Two rows of tines in the upper rack adjust in two positions and one in the lower rack will adjust in one of three positions so water can clean inside deep or wide dishes.
Fold-Down Shelf with Stemware Holders
- Provides extra room in the upper rack to hold additional cups, wine glasses, or long items such as utensils and spatulas.
4-Hour Delay Option
- Allows you to set the dishwasher to start at a more convenient time.
