USING YOUR DISHWASHER
2.For models with cycle selector buttons, select a wash cycle. See “Cycle selection chart” for descriptions. For models with rocker switches, skip to Step 3. The Rinse Only cycle will operate with any cycle selector button chosen. The cycle control knob determines which cycle operates.
3.Turn the cycle control knob clockwise to point to the desired cycle.
You will feel a definite stop at each cycle mark. The dishwasher will automatically start the cycle you selected.
NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear cycles start and stop as the knob passes each cycle mark. This is normal and will not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can set cycles with the door unlatched.

Adding a dish during a cycle
You can add an item to the dishwasher anytime before the knob reaches Light Wash.
1.Lift up on the door latch to unlatch the door and stop the cycle. Wait a moment for the spray action to stop before open- ing the door.
2.Open the door and add the dish.
3.Close the door. Do not latch it. Wait 30 seconds for air in the dishwasher to warm up. This helps reduce the amount of moisture that can come from the vent when restarting the cycle.
4.Press door in to latch it. The dishwasher will start where it stopped.
Changing a cycle setting
You can change a setting anytime during any cycle. To change the selected option(s):
1.Lift up on the door latch to unlatch the door and stop the cycle.
2.Turn the cycle control knob clockwise to the cycle you want.
3.Check the detergent dispenser to be sure it is properly filled for the new cycle. See the “Using the detergent dispenser” section.
NOTE: Turning the cycle control knob may cause the covered section of the detergent dispenser to open. Be sure to fill the covered section, and close the cover, if the cycle uses detergent in both sections.
4.Close and latch the door. The dishwasher will automatically start the new cycle.
