OPTIONS
To select an option, simply press the appropriate option button. The options are described below.
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 and final rinse are heated to the higher temperature for the selected program. If it is set to low, the main wash and final rinses are 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 from 1 to 12 hours. Press this button until the desired number of hours displays then press Start. If you change your mind before you press Start, continue to press this button until the Delay Start indicator light goes off. The indicator light will glow when Delay Start is selected. To cancel Delay after you press 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.
POWER BUTTON
Use this button to turn the main power to the unit on and off. Refer to the illustration above to see the location of the power button.
START/STOP BUTTON
Once you have selected the wash program and temperature and drying options, press this button to start the dishwasher. (Make sure the door is securely closed.)
