DELAY HOURS You can delay the start of a wash cycle for 2, 4 or 8 hours (delay time options may
vary by model). Touch the DELAY HOURS pad to choose the number of hours you want
to delay the start of the cycle; then touch START/RESET one time. The dishwasher will

RESET To change a cycle after washing starts, touch the START/RESET pad to cancel the
cycle. The START/RESET light will flash while the water is pumped out if needed. This
takes approximately 90 seconds. When the light stops flashing, the dishwasher can be
reprogrammed and restarted.
Start
Close and latch the dishwasher door and select the cycle and desired enhancements. Touch the
START/RESET pad once to begin the cycle. Water begins to fill the dishwasher, and approximately 60
seconds later the wash action begins. Touching the START/RESET pad a second time will cancel the
cycle and cause the water to drain out. This will take approximately 2 minutes.
NOTE: The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you don’t have to reprogram each time. When
the dishwasher door is fully closed, the control panel lights will display the last settings you selected.
If you don’t want to change any of the settings, simply touch the START/RESET pad once to begin
the cycle.
If the door is closed, the indicator lights will turn off if the START/RESET pad is not pressed within two
minutes. To activate the display, open and close the door or touch any pad.
Also, if a power failure occurs, NORMAL and HEATED DRY will automatically be programmed.
