Starting a wash cycle
1. Load the dishwasher. See the “Loading
Your Dishwasher” section.
2. Spin the spray arms. They should
turn freely.
3. Add detergent. See the “Using the
detergent dispenser” section.
4. Add rinse agent, if needed.
5. Close door firmly until it latches.
Stopping the dishwasher
You can stop your dishwasher anytime during
a cycle. All you have to do is:
• Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling
or spraying action to stop before opening
the door all the way. Close the door to
continue the cycle.
OR
• Turn the Cycle Control Knob slowly
clockwise until you hear water draining.
Let the dishwasher drain completely.
Then open the door and turn the Cycle
Control Knob to Off.
STARTING YOUR DISHWASHER
6. Run hot water at the sink nearest the dish
washer until water is hot. Turn
water off.
7. Press a Cycle pad. If desired, press one
or more Option pads. (See the
“Setting the Controls” section.)
The indicator above each pad
will show red when selected.
NOTE: More than one cycle
shares the same pad. The Cycle Control
Knob determines which cycle operates.
8. Turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to
the desired cycle. You will feel
a definite “stop” at each cycle
mark. The dishwasher auto-
matically starts the cycle
you select.
NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear
the cycles start and stop as the control
knob passes each cycle mark. This is
normal and does not hurt the dishwasher.
If you prefer, you can set the Cycle
Control Knob with the door unlatched.
