Favorite Cycle

The FAVORITE CYCLE option allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button. Once Programmed, simply press the FAVORITE CYCLE button followed by the START/CANCEL pad.

To Program the FAVORITE CYCLE button:

1)Select your preferred cycle and options

2)Hold the FAVORITE CYCLE button for 3 seconds.

The display will flash for 2 seconds indicating the FAVORITE CYCLE option has been programmed. To change the FAVORITE CYCLE option simple repeat steps one and two above.

Sanitize Option

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. When selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155°F (68°C) assuring bacteria is destroyed. This option is available in NORMAL WASH and TOP RACK. SANITIZE is automatically provided when POWER PLUS is selected. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements.

The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C).

The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).

To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.

Sahara DryTM

When the SAHARA DRYTM option is selected, the dishwasher increases the temperature of the final rinse and extends drying time by approximately twenty minutes. The SAHARA DRYTM option can be used with all cycles except ENERGY SAVER AND RINSE ONLY. For best drying performance, select Hi-Temp Wash and/or sanitize. This will increase the temperture during the wash cycle to improve drying.

The energy required to use the SAHARA DRYTM option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the SAHARA DRYTM option; however you may have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the

end of the cycle.

Heat Dry

The HEATED DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. HEATED DRY option is available on all cycles except ENERGY SAVER & RINSE ONLY.

The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying period.

Air Dry

The AIR DRY option is used to de-activate the heating element during the drying phase of the selected wash cycle. This option will slightly decrease energy usage but will increase the likelihood that dishware will not be dry.

Delay Start

The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1-24 hours.

To activate press the DELAY START pad until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window. The word “delay” will show in the status window next to the remaining delay time until the cycle starts.

To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad.

NOTE

Why Energy Efficient Units run long cycles: Several factors are important to washing dishware. The energy use of your dishwasher was reduced by applying more of the factors that don’t use so much energy adn less of the ones that use more. As a result, you will see that the wash cycles take longer.
