Operating Your Dishwasher
Starting Your Dishwasher
important
If the dishwasher drain line is connected to a garbage disposal, run the disposal before operating the dishwasher for proper drainage.
1. Open the door and push in on the main power switch on the top of the
door, so that it is in the on position.
The control panel, on top of the door, 
is lit when the switch is on.
2. Push the CYCLE button repeatedly until the light for the desired wash cycle is lit. See the facing page for a description of
the various wash cycles.
3. If you want to change the wash temperature, push the WASH
TEMP button repeatedly to toggle
between the “normal” and the “high” setting. The WASH TEMP light is lit when the wash temperature is set to high. See the facing page for a description of the temperature settings.
4.If you want to change the dish drying time, push
the DRY cycle button repeatedly to toggle between the “normal”
and “high” setting. The DRY light is lit when the dry time is set to
high. See the facing page for a description of the dry settings. NOTE: When set to normal, the rinse water temperature is lower, causing the dishes to take longer to dry. Change the setting to high if the dishes do not dry properly.
5.Push the START/STOP button.
6.Close the door. Push in gently on the top of the door until it clicks shut. The dishwasher will start.

•If power to the dishwasher is switched off at the main power switch or there is a power outage before the wash cycle is complete, the selected cycle will continue when the power comes back on. However, if power is interrupted or the door is opened during drying, the cycle will end.
•In hard water areas, both the dishes and the machine can develop a white or gray film after a while. This can be removed by replacing the
Saving on Water and Energy Costs
•To save energy, wait to run the wash cycle until the dishwasher is full.
•Use the normal temperature and/or dry setting. For best results after the normal dry cycle, leave the door open slightly after the end of the cycle.
