Adding Items During a Cycle, Wash System

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 cover is still closed, you can add items.

To add items

1.Carefully open the door slightly to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying action to stop before opening the door.

2.Open the door. If the detergent dispenser cover is still closed, add the item.

3.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.

Press START to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous wash cycle.

NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, when you press Start, the dishwasher runs the last full wash cycle and options.

Hi-Temp Scrub

Select this option to heat the water during parts of the cycle, and add a rinse. Higher water temperatures and an extra rinse helps clean tough soils. Hi-Temp Scrub, with the Heavy cycle, raises the water temperature in the prewash and main wash. Hi-Temp Scrub, with the Normal cycle, raises the water temperature in the main wash.

This option adds heat, water and wash time to a cycle.

NOTE: Hi-Temp Scrub is an option with the Heavy and Normal cycles.

ENERGY SAVER™ Dry System

Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy. ENERGY SAVER™ Dry System 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: Rinse Only automatically uses this option. ENERGY SAVER™ Dry System is an option with all other cycles.

Control Lock

Use the Control Lock to prevent unintended use of the dishwasher. You can also use the control lock feature to prevent unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle.

When Control Lock is lit, all buttons are disabled.

If you press any pad while your dishwasher control is locked, the light flashes 3 times.

Status Indicators

Clean

CLEAN glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns on when you open the door. The light turns off when you close the door or press CANCEL.

Wash System

The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results. Four levels of filtration, and a soil collector system, filter the wash water and prevent food particles from redepositing on the clean dishes.

■The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra-Fine filter, trapping food particles.

■Two water jets, located under the spray arm remove the food particles from the Ultra-Fine filter.

■A coarse strainer prevents bones, pits, and other large objects from entering the pump system.

NOTE: Periodically check the coarse strainer and remove any objects on the strainer.
