Forget a dish? Here’s when you can add it.

Add dishes any time during the RINSE & HOLD cycle. With other wash cycles, you can add dishes at any-time BEFORE the main detergent wish portion of the cycle.

However, opening the door during any cycle lessens cleaning power because the temperature inside the dishwasher is lowered. So trv to

load everything at the begin~ing.

Here’s how to add a forgotten dish:

1.Push the door latch to the left. Washing will stop.

2.Wait a few seconds until the

water calms. Then open the door.

3.Add dishes you’ve forgotten.

4.Close the door and push the latch to the far right. When the door is locked. washing will continue.
