Changing a Cycle or Setting
During the first 2 minutes of a cycle
Press a new cycle and/or options.
After the first 2 minutes of a cycle
1. Press CANCEL/DRAIN. Cancel/Drain glows. The dishwasher
pauses for 5 seconds and starts a 2-minute drain (if needed).
Let the dishwasher drain completely.
2. Check the detergent dispensers. If the main wash cup has
opened and the detergent washed away, refill the cups as
needed.
3. Close the door.
4. Press a new cycle and/or options and press START/
RESUME.
Adding Items During a Cycle
You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts. Open
the door and check the detergent dispenser. If the main wash
section is still closed, you can add items.
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. If the main wash detergent dispenser is still
closed, 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 and press START/
RESUME. The dishwasher resumes the cycle after about a
5-second pause.
Option Selections
You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you
change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option.
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
anytime 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 CANCEL/DRAIN.
Hi-Temp Wash
Select this high-temperature option for improved cleaning of
heavily soiled dishes. Selecting this option adds heat, water and
time to the wash cycle. Heating the water helps improve washing
results.
NOTE: Hi-Temp Wash is an option with Heavy wash and Normal
wash.
Heated Dry
Select this option to dry dishes with heat.
Switching off Heated Dry saves energy and is useful when loads
contain plastic dinnerware that may be sensitive to high
temperatures. 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: Heated Dry is an option with all cycles except Rinse Only.
Locked
Use Locked to prevent unintended use of the dishwasher. You
can also use the Locked feature to prevent unintended cycle or
option changes during a cycle.
NOTE: When Locked is lit, all buttons are disabled.
To lock the controls
Press and hold
for 5 seconds. Locked glows. If you press any pad while your
dishwasher is locked, the light flashes 3 times.
To unlock the controls
Press and hold HEATED DRY for 5 seconds until the light turns
off.
NOTE: The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls
are locked.
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. Press DELAY 1 time for a 2-hour delay, 2 times for a 4-hour
delay, or 3 times for a 6-hour delay.
3. Select a wash cycle and option.
The number glows above Delay. The dishwasher starts the cycle
in the selected number of hours. If you do not press a cycle
within 30 seconds, the Delay indicator turns off.
NOTES:
To cancel the delay and cycle, press CANCEL/DRAIN.
To cancel the delay and start the cycle, press START/
RESUME.
