Rinse Agent Dispenser

Open the rinse agent dispenser by lifting the tab with your thumb.

NOTE: The dishwasher indicates low rinse agent either by showing the symbol in the countdown display, or illuminating the refill rinse agent light (model dependent).

Add liquid rinse agent to the dispenser as shown in Figure 16 until the rinse agent reservoir is full. Wipe up any excess rinse agent that puddles when the dispenser reservoir is full.

NOTE: After filling the rinse agent dispenser, the indicator light will go out in a few minutes after the dishwasher door is shut (select models only).

OPTIDRYTM

This feature senses when the unit is low on Rinse Agent and automatically increases the drying time. For best performance, always use a liquid Rinse Agent even if your detergent contains a drying additive.

Half Load

In the Power Scrub Plus, Regular, Auto wash and Delicate/Economy cycles you can reduce the energy and water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher’s capacity. To activate, select the Half Load button in addition to Power Scrub Plus, Regular, Auto wash or Delicate/Economy cycle.

Delay Start

This option allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher.

Sanitized Light

When the Sanitized light appears, it means that the dishware and kitchenware that was just washed has been sanitized according to the requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). For more information on NSF certification, refer to the Wash Cycle Information section of this manual.

Unloading the Dishwasher

Unload the bottom rack first. Unload the silverware basket(s). They are easily removed for unloading. Unload the top rack.
