Canceling a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle at any time.
1. Turn the cycle control knob slowly clockwise until you hear
water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely.
2. Open the door.
3. Turn the cycle control knob to Off.
Changing a Cycle or Setting
If your dishwasher has more than one wash cycle, you can
change a cycle anytime during a cycle.
1. Lift the door latch to stop the cycle.
2. Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise.
3. Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled properly
for the new cycle.
NOTE: Turning the Cycle Control knob can cause the covered
Detergent Dispenser section to open and release the
detergent. Check the covered section if the cycle uses
detergent in both sections.
4. Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher starts a
new cycle.
Adding Items During a Cycle
You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts, or the
Cycle Control knob reaches Water Miser/Light Wash.
1. Lift up the door latch to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying
action to stop before opening the door.
2. Open the door and add the item.
3. Close the door, but do not latch it. Wait 30 seconds for the air
in the dishwasher to warm up. This reduces the amount of
moisture escaping from the vent when restarting a cycle.
4. Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher resumes
the cycle.
Option Selections
You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you
change your mind, press RESET to turn the option off. Select a
different option if desired.
You can change an option anytime before the selected option
begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option
anytime before drying begins.
Hi Temp
Select this option to heat the water to 140°F (60°C) during parts
of the cycle. Heating the water helps improve washing results.
This option adds both heat and wash time to parts of the cycle.
Hi Temp wash is useful when loads contain baked-on food.
NOTE: Pots Pans automatically uses this option. Hi Temp wash is
an option with the Normal Wash, Heavy Wash and Light Wash
cycles.
Air Dry
Select this energy-saving option to dry without heat. Air drying is
useful when loads contain plastic dinnerware that may be
sensitive to high temperatures.
The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur. For
best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics)
may need towel drying.
NOTE: Light Wash automatically uses this option. Air Dry is an
option with all other cycles.
Reset
Select Reset to change an option anytime before the selected
option begins.
Drying System
During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at
the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries
your dishes.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent
during drying.
Overfill Protection Float
The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the
dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be
in place for the dishwasher to operate.
Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector
from moving up or down.
Light Wash
Use this cycle for china and crystal. This cycle uses a light wash
and gentle dry. The Air Dry option is automatic with this cycle,
and the heater is turned off.
Use covered detergent dispenser section.
