Cycle Status Indicators, Drying System, Delay Hours

For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

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.

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.

The number glows above Delay Hours. The dishwasher starts the cycle in the selected number of hours. If you do not press a cycle within 30 seconds the Delay Hours indicator turns off.

Drying System

During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.

IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.

Overfill Protection Float

The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.
