“The Normal Wash program is used
for energy testing and should be
used for normal or lightly soiled
loads. When washing dishes that
are more heavily soiled, use a
longer program with higher
temperatures such as Heavy Wash
or Pots and Pans.”

To select a program, simply press the program button until the indicator light for the desired program glows. The

Pots and Pans (170°/Sani or 140° F)
For the heaviest soiled loads, such as casseroles, sauce pans, etc.
Heavy Wash (160° F or 130° F)
For heavily soiled loads, such as pots, pans, casseroles, etc.
Normal Wash (130° F or 140° F)
For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled pans.
Delicate Wash (105° F or 120° F)
For delicate items, such as fine china and crystal, that are washed immediately after use.
When using this program, you should set the temperature to low and dry the dishes without
heat.
Quick Wash (85° F or 120° F)
For lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after use. This program can also be used
for delicate items, but you should set the temperature to low and dry the dishes without heat.
Rinse and Hold
To rinse dishes that you plan to wash later that day.
Temperature
The dishwasher has two temperature options for each wash program, as shown above. When this button is
set on the high temperature, the main wash and final rinse are heated to the higher temperature for the
selected program. If it is set to low, the main wash and final rinses are heated to the lower temperature. The
indicator light will glow only when the higher temperature is selected.
Delayed Start
This button allows you to delay starting the dishwasher from 1 to 12 hours. Press this button until the desired
number of hours displays then press Start. If you change your mind before you press Start, continue to press
this button until the Delay Start indicator light goes off. The indicator light will glow when Delay Start is
selected. To cancel Delay after you press Start, hold down the Start/Stop button for three seconds.
Drying
This option speeds up the drying process by raising the temperature in the final rinse to 160° F to heat the
dishes and tank before the drying cycle begins. The indicator light will glow only when this option is activated.
