Canceling a Cycle

You can cancel a cycle at any time.

1.Turn the cycle control knob slowly clockwise until you hear water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely.

2.Open the door.

3.Turn the cycle control knob to Off.

Changing a Cycle or Setting

If your dishwasher has more than one wash cycle, you can change a cycle anytime during a cycle.

1.Lift the door latch to stop the cycle.

2.Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise.

3.Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled properly for the new cycle.

NOTE: Turning the Cycle Control knob can cause the covered Detergent Dispenser section to open and release the detergent. Check the covered section if the cycle uses detergent in both sections.

4.Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher starts a new cycle.

Option Selections

You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you change your mind, press RESET 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 anytime before drying begins.

Hi Temp

Select this option to heat the water to 140°F (60°C) during parts of the cycle. Heating the water helps improve washing results. This option adds both heat and wash time to parts of the cycle. Hi Temp wash is useful when loads contain baked-on food. NOTE: Pots Pans automatically uses this option. Hi Temp wash is an option with the Normal Wash, Heavy Wash and Light Wash cycles.

Air Dry

Select this energy-saving option to dry without heat. Air drying 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: Light Wash automatically uses this option. Air Dry is an option with all other cycles.

Reset

Select Reset to change an option anytime before the selected option begins.

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.

Adding Items During a Cycle

You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts, or the Cycle Control knob reaches Water Miser/Light Wash.

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 and 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.

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.
