Delay
The Delay option can be used to
automatically start the cycle at a later time
to reduce daytime heat buildup in the
home or to take advantage of reduced
energy costs if available in your area.
TO SET UP A DELAY:
1. Close the door. Select the appropriate
cycle and options for the load.
2. Press the Delay pad until the desired
amount of delay time is selected.
3. The Delay indicator and the count down
display (select models) will flash until
the START/Cancel pad is pressed.
4. As soon as the START/Cancel pad is
pressed, the flashing will stop and the
delay time will begin counting down.
The delay indicator will remain lit until
the delay time has counted down.
5. The cycle will automatically start as
soon as the delay time expires.
TO CANCEL A DELAY:
When the delay is counting down, press
the Delay pad again. The indicator light
will go out and the cycle will start or
resume immediately.
TO CANCEL A DELAY AND CYCLE:
Press START/Cancel once to drain
and turn off the dishwasher.
Or
Press START/Cancel twice to turn
dishwasher off without draining.
Control lock option
(select models)
The control touchpads can be locked to
prevent unwanted use. If this feature is
activated between cycles, the dishwasher
cannot be operated until the controls are
unlocked. If desired, the controls can be
locked after a cycle or delay has started.
SETTING THE CONTROL LOCK:
1. Press the Heated Dry pad for three
seconds.
2. An indicator light next to the lock
graphic will illuminate when the
controls are locked.
TO CANCEL:
1. Press the Heated Dry pad for three
seconds.
2. The indicator light will go off.
NOTE
If 30 seconds elapse between
setting the cycle and options and
pressing the START/Cancel pad,
the dishwasher will turn off.
NOTE
If a cycle or option pad is pressed
after the controls have been
locked, the indicator light next to
the lock graphic will flash five
times. On selected models with a
countdown display, the display
will flash an “L” simultaneously
with the lock indicator.
This option does not lock the door,
only the dishwasher controls.
Operating tips
Starting the dishwasher
1. After loading the dishwasher and adding
detergent, close the dishwasher by
pressing the door until the latch clicks.
2. To start the dishwasher, select the
desired cycle and options. The
indicator lights for the selected cycle
and options will illuminate.
3. Press the START/Cancel pad. After a
pause, the fill will begin. The display
countdown will flash until START/
Cancel is pressed.
4. To cancel an option, press the pad
again. To cancel a running cycle,
press the START/Cancel pad.
5. To prevent unplanned cycle or option
changes, these selections are “locked
in” after 1 minute.
Adding a forgotten item
For best cleaning, the forgotten item
should be added early in the cycle.
1. Grasp door handle and unlatch door
without opening completely. All lights
will flash to indicate that the cycle is
suspended.
2. Wait for the water circulation to stop.
3. Open the door and add the item.
4. Close and latch the door. Lights will stop
flashing when the door is properly shut.
5. After a slight delay, the cycle resumes
automatically at the point of interruption.
NOTE
If the door is opened during a
running cycle, there may be up to
a 30 second delay before the unit
restarts after closing the door.
Extended interruption of the wash
cycle is not recommended.
NOTE
If a cycle pad is pressed after the
controls have been “locked in”,
the light above the current cycle
will flash three times.
If START/Cancel is not pressed
within 30 seconds, the dish-
washer will turn off.
