Add Rinse Aid

■Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.

■Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.

Heated Dry – (automatic with all except

rinse cycle) use for best drying results. Turn off by pressing Heat Dry so that the light goes off.

Sanitize – (use only with Normal wash cycle; automatic with Heavy Duty cycle) Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse to approximately 155°F (68°C). Sanitize option adds heat and time to the cycle. This high temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

Hi-Temp Wash – (use only with Pots & Pans and Normal wash cycles) heats the water during the wash portions of the cycle.

DELAY Hours – (any cycle) offers the choice to start the dishwasher automatically at a later time. Select a wash cycle and options. Press DELAY Hours. Press START/

Cancel. Close the door firmly.

Locked – (on Heat Dry button) use to avoid unintended use of your dishwasher. When Control Lock is lit, all buttons are disabled. The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls are locked.

To turn on Lock:
