Options
The light above the selected pad will be ON to indicate which option has been selected.
PRE SCRUB For use with heavily soiled and/or dried-on, baked-on soils. This option MUST be selected PRIOR to starting the
(on some models) cycle. This option adds 16 minutes to the cycle time. NOTE: Cannot be selected with RINSE ONLY cycle.
HEATED DRY Shuts off the drying heat option. Dishes air dry naturally and energy is saved. For faster air dry, you can prop
Light OFF the door open after the CLEAN light illuminates.
HEATED DRY Turns the heater on for fast drying. This will extend the total run time by 8 minutes for the SPEED
Light ON CYCLE, 38 minutes for NORMAL and POTS/PANS, and 30 minutes for all other cycles. NOTE: Cannot be
selected with RINSE ONLY cycle.
LOCK You can lock the controls to prevent any selections from being made. Or you can lock the controls after you have
started a cycle.
Children cannot accidentally start dishwasher by touching pads with this option selected.
To LOCK the dishwasher control, touch and hold the HEATED DRY pad for 3 seconds. The light below the
HEATED DRY pad will turn on. To UNLOCK the dishwasher control, touch and hold the HEATED DRY pad for
3 seconds. The LOCK light will turn off.
ADDED When selected, the cycle will run longer with the heating element on to improve both wash and dry performance.
HEAT NOTE: Cannot be selected with RINSE ONLY cycle.
DELAY HOURS You can delay the start of a wash cycle for up to 9 hours. 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 count
down and start automatically at the correct time. Touching START/RESET a second time will cancel the
DELAY START selection.
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.
