The estimated wash time will also appear.
3. If you want to change the wash
temperature setting, touch the Wash
Temperature key repeatedly to
toggle between the “normal” setting
and the “high” setting. The light below the Wash
Temperature key is lit when the temperature
is set to “high.” See the facing page for a
description of the temperature settings.

time, touch Dry repeatedly to toggle
between the “normal” and “high”
setting. The light below the Dry
cycle key is lit when the dry time is set to “high.”
NOTE: When set to “normal”, the rinse water
temperature is lower, causing the dishes to take
longer to dry. Change the setting to “high” if the
dishes do not dry properly. NOTE: This option is
not available for the Rinse and Dry and Rinse
and Hold cycles.

the dishwasher, touch Delay Start

two minutes, the display will return to the cycle
setting that was run previously.
Operating Your Dishwasher
During Operation
• During the cycle, the dishwasher’s computer
monitors the amount of soil left on the dishes
(by monitoring amount of soil in the water). The
amount of time required for the cycle to complete
varies based on the amount of soil left on the
dishes and the water temperature.
• If power to the dishwasher is turned off at the
main power switch or if there is a power outage
before the wash cycle completes, the selected
cycle will continue when the power is restored.
However, if power is interrupted or the door is
open more than two minutes during drying, the
cycle will end.
Standby Mode
Oncethecycleisnished,thedishwasherwillbeep

completes the dishwasher draws a very small amount

Saving on Water and Energy Costs
• To save energy, wait to run the wash cycle until
the dishwasher is full.
• Use the Rinse and Hold cycle to rinse the
dishes if there are any unpleasant odors while
you wait for the dishwasher to become fully
loaded.
• If the dishes are only lightly soiled, use the
normal temperature and/or dry setting. For best
results after the normal dry cycle, leave the door
open slightly after the end of the cycle.
• Do not rinse dishes under running water. Simply
scrape off large food particles before loading.

dishwasher. Dacor recommends that you only add
