START/STOP BUTTON
Once you have selected the wash program and temperature and drying options, press this button then close the door to start the dishwasher. (Make sure the door is securely closed.)
INTERRUPTING A PROGRAM TO ADD AN ITEM
If you want to interrupt a program to add an item, open the door slightly until the spray arms stop turning. You can then open the door fully and place the item into the dishwasher. Close the door securely. The program will continue from where it was interrupted.
WARNING!
Be extremely careful when opening the door during a program. The water is hot and you could get scalded.
CHANGING OR STOPPING A PROGRAM
If you decide to change the program after you have started the machine, press the Start/Stop button for three seconds. You will have to select the program and options again when you are ready to restart the program. (Note: If the program has already gone through the wash cycle, you will have to add detergent.)
PROGRAM TIMES
The program times may not always be the same because of variations in the household hot water temperature. The dishwasher heats the water to the proper temperature for the program selected; so if the temperature of the water entering the dishwasher is too low, the dishwasher will run longer because it takes longer to heat the water. Raising your water heater setting could help to shorten the cycle times.
