Starting your dishwasher
1. Push a Cycle Selector Button for the desired
cycle. NORMAL WASH, LOW ENERGY WASH
and RINSE & HOLD Cycles share the same
button. The Cycle Control Knob determines
which cycle operates.
2. Push an Option Selector Button for each
desired option. (Use AIR DRY for RINSE 8
HOLD Cycle.)
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 that cycle.
To add a dish after starting
1. To be sure the added item is washed and
rinsed, make sure the Cycle Control Knob has
not passed LOW ENERGY 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 sec-
onds 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 firmly to latch it. The dishwasher will
automatically start where it stopped.

You can change a setting anytime during
any cycle.
1. Lift up on the door latch to unlatch the door and

cycle you want.

properly for the new cycle.
4. Push door firmly to latch it. The dishwasher will
automatically start the new cycle.
