A small amount of water runs through the pump to

Canceling a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle at any time.
1.
Turn the Cycle Control knob slowly clockwise until you
hear water draining. Let the dishwasher drain
completely.
2.
Open the door.
3.
Turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.
Changing a Cycle or Setting
If your dishwasher has more than one wash cycle, you can
change a cycle anytime during a cycle.
1.
Lift the door latch to stop the cycle.
2.
Press a cycle and, if desired, press an option.
3.
Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise.
4.
Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled
properly for the new cycle.
NOTE:
Turning the Cycle Control knob can cause the
covered Detergent Dispenser section to open and
release the detergent. Check the covered section if the
cycle uses detergent in both sections.
5.
Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher
starts a new cycle.
Adding Items During a Cycle
You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts,
or the Cycle Control knob reaches Normal Wash.
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 and add the item.
3.
Close the door, but do not latch it. Wait 30 seconds for
the air in the dishwasher to warm up. This reduces the
amount of moisture escaping from the vent when
restarting a cycle.
4.
Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher
resumes the cycle.
Using the Plate Warmer
Use the Plate Warmer cycle to warm serving dishes or
dinner plates.
NOTE:
Do not use the Air Dry option.
1.
Close and latch the door.
2.
Turn the Cycle Control knob to PLATE WARMER.
3.
Allow 8 minutes for the cycle to heat the dishware.
4.
Turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.
Option Selections
You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If
you change your mind, press RESET 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.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options
used and uses the same options in the next wash cycle,
unless you select new options or press Reset.
Hi-Temp Wash
Select this option to heat the water to 140°F (60°C) in the
main wash. This option adds heat and wash time. Heating
the water helps improve washing results.
NOTE:
The Pots-N-Pans cycle automatically uses this
option. Hi-Temp Wash is an option with the Heavy and
Normal Wash cycles.
