desired enhancements. Touch the START/RESET pad to
begin the cycle. Water fill begins, and approximately
60 seconds later the wash action begins.
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 to begin the cycle.
If the door is closed the indicator lights will turn
off if the START/RESET pad is not selected within two
minutes. To activate the display, open and close the
door or press any pad.
Also, if a power failure occurs, NORMAL and HEATED
DRY will automatically be programmed. Make any new
selections and touch the START/RESET pad to begin the
cycle.
