OPTIONS

To select an option, simply press the appropriate option button. The options are described below.

Upper or Lower Basket Only

This option lets you wash only the upper or lower basket. This means mainly the upper or lower spray arm will function. The upper basket indicator light on the option button will glow when only the upper spray arm is activated. The lower basket indicator light will glow when mainly the lower spray arm is activated. Both lights will glow when both spray arms are activated.

Temperature

The dishwasher has two temperature options for each wash program, as shown above. When this button is set on the high temperature, the main wash is heated to the higher temperature for the selected program. If it is set to low, the main wash is heated to the lower temperature. The indicator light will glow only when the higher temperature is selected.

Delayed Start

This button allows you to delay starting the dishwasher for five hours. Press this button then press Start. The button will glow when Delay Start is selected. To cancel Delay Start, hold down the Start/Stop button for three seconds.

Drying

This option speeds up the drying process by raising the temperature in the final rinse to 160° F to heat the dishes and tank before the drying cycle begins. The indicator light will glow only when this option is activated.

Express

This option reduces the wash time and lowers the wash temperature by 18° or 20° F. Express is not available with the Quick Wash and Rinse and Hold Programs.
