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 & Pans cycle automatically uses this option. Hi-
Temp Wash is an option with the Heavy and Normal Wash cycles.
This option does not work with Light Wash cycles (on some
models).
Air Dry
Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy.
The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur.
For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as
plastics) may need towel drying.
NOTE: The dishwasher automatically heats the air in the
dishwasher during the dry portion of the cycle unless you
select Air Dry.
Reset Options
Select this option to change an option setting.
You can change option settings anytime during a cycle as long as
the cycle has not passed the point where the option is used. For
example, you can press Air Dry anytime before the Cycle Control
knob reaches Dry.
1. Press RESET.
2. Press 1 or more options.
Delay Hours
Use Delay Hours to run your dishwasher at a later time or during
off-peak hours. You can add items to the load anytime during the
delay countdown. After adding items, close the door firmly until it
latches. The delay countdown will not continue if the door is not
latched.
To delay the start
1. Close the door.
2. Select a wash cycle and option(s).
3. Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise to the number of
hours you want the dishwasher to delay the start.
NOTES:
To cancel the delay, turn the Cycle Control knob to the
desired cycle.
Rinse Only and the Normal Wash cycles cannot be delayed.
