Adding Items During a Cycle
You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts. Open
the door and check the detergent dispenser. If the cover is still
closed, you can add items.
To add items
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. If the detergent dispenser cover is still closed,
add the item.
3.
Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher resumes
the cycle after about a 5-second pause.
Option Selections
You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you
change your mind, press the option again 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
any time before drying begins.
Press START to repeat the same cycle and options as the
previous wash cycle.
NOTE:
If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, when
you press Start, the dishwasher runs the last full wash cycle and
options.
Hi-Temp Scrub
Select this option to raise the water temperature in the main
wash, and add a rinse. The higher water temperature, and added
rinse, help clean tough soils.
This option adds heat, water and wash time to the cycle.
NOTE:
Hi-Temp Scrub is an option with the Heavy and Normal
cycles.
ENERGY SAVER™ Dry System
Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy.
ENERGY SAVER™ Dry System 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:
Rinse Only automatically uses this option. ENERGY
SAVER™ Dry System is an option with all other cycles.

You can also use the control lock feature to prevent unintended
cycle or option changes during a cycle.

Status Indicators
Water Heating
WATER HEATING glows, and the cycle progression pauses,
whenever water is heated during a cycle.
Wash or rinse action continues as the water heats.
Clean
CLEAN glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns on when
you open the door. The light turns off when you close the door or
press CANCEL.
Wash System
The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results.
Four levels of filtration, and a soil collector system, filter the wash
water and prevent food particles from redepositing on the clean
dishes.
The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra-Fine
filter, trapping food particles.
Two water jets, located under the spray arm remove the food
particles from the Ultra-Fine filter.
A coarse strainer prevents bones, pits, and other large
objects from entering the pump system.
NOTE:
Periodically check the coarse strainer and remove any
objects on the strainer.
