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. 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 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 Cancel/Drain.
Hi-Temp Scour
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.
The Pots & Pans or Anti-Bacterial cycles, with the Hi-Temp Scour
feature, is recommended for baked-on soil.
NOTE:
The Hi-Temp Scour feature is an option with the Pots &
Pans and Anti-Bacterial cycles.
SANI RINSE option
Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse
to approximately 155°F (68°C) for 10 minutes. The SANI RINSE
option adds heat and time to the cycle. In the Pots & Pans and
Anti-Bacterial cycles, this high-temperature rinse sanitizes your
dishes and glassware in accordance with the NSF Protocol P153
Sanitization and Cleaning Performance of Household Spray-Type
Dishwashers.
NOTE:
The SANI RINSE option is automatic with the Anti-
Bacterial cycle. It is an option with the Pots & Pans cycle.
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.
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 Hours 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.
4.
Press START.
The number glows above Delay Hours. The dishwasher starts the
cycle in the selected number of hours. If you do not press START
within 30 seconds, the Delay Hours and cycle indicators turn off.
NOTES:
To cancel the delay and cycle, press Cancel/Drain.
To cancel the delay and start the cycle once the delay has
started, press START a second time.
Cycle Status Indicators
Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status
Indicators. Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns
off when you open the door or press Cancel/Drain.
Heat Water
Heat Water glows whenever water is heated during a cycle. Wash
or rinse action continues as the water heats.
Sanitized
If you select the SANI RINSE option, SANITIZED glows when
the SANI RINSE cycle is finished. If your dishwasher did not
properly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the
cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light goes
off when you open the door.
