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. This option is
also useful for conserving hot water at times of high
household usage (showers, laundry).
To set up a Delay:
1. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the
load. Close the door.
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.
Note
If 30 seconds elapse between setting the cycle
and options and pressing the START/Cancel
pad, the dishwasher will turn off.
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 the cycle:
• Press START/Cancel once to drain and turn off the
dishwasher.
Or
• Press START/Cancel twice to turn dishwasher off
without draining.
