8400 Series Models
Starting your dishwasher
1. Select a drying option. (See page 6.) The
indicator above the button will show red when
that option has been selected.
NOTE: Select AIR DRY for the Rinse 8 Hold
Cycle.
For the 8300 series models, the Heat Dry
Option is automatically selected with the Pots
& Pans Cycle.
2.
For the 8300 series models, if the Pots 8
Pans Cycle will be used, push the POTS &
PANS button. The indicator above the button
will show red.
For the 8400 series models, push a Cycle
Selector button for the desired cycle. Normal
Wash, Light Wash and Rinse & Hold Cycles
share the same button. The Cycle Control Knob
determines which cycle operates.
3. Turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to point
to a desired cycle. You will feel a definite stop at
each cycle mark. The dishwasher will automati-
cally start the cycle you selected.
NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear cycles
start and stop as the knob passes each cycle
mark. This is normal and will not hurt the dish-
washer. If you prefer, you can set cycles with the
door unlatched.

To add a dish after starting
1. To be sure that added item is washed and
rinsed, make sure the Cycle Control Knob has
not passed LIGHT WASH.
2. Lift up on the door latch to unlatch door and
stop the cycle. Don’t open the door until the
spray arms stop spinning.
3. Open the door and add the dish.
4. Close the door. Do not latch it. Wait 30
seconds for air in the dishwasher to warm up.
This helps reduce the amount of moisture that
can come from the vent when restarting the
cycle.
5. Press door in to latch it. This dishwasher will
start where it stopped.
Changing a cycle setting
You can change a setting anytime during
any cycle.
1. Lift up on the door latch to unlatch the door
and stop the cycle.
2. Turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to the
cycle you want.
3. Be sure the detergent dispensers are filled
properly for the new cycle. When changing dial
from LIGHT WASH to NORMAL WASH or
POTS & PANS setting, detergent is released.
Reload covered section of dispenser before
starting Normal Wash Cycle or Pots & Pans
Cycle.
4. Close and latch the door. The dishwasher will
automatically start the new cycle.
