About the dishwasher control panel.

5 Start

Close the dishwasher door and select the cycle and desired enhancements. Touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle. Water fill begins, and approximately 60 seconds later the wash action begins.

NOTE: The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you don’t have to reprogram each time. When the dishwasher door is fully closed, the control panel lights will display the last settings you selected.

6 Clean

The CLEAN light is illuminated when a wash cycle is complete. The light will stay ON until the door is opened.

If you don’t want to change any of the settings, simply touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle.

If the door is closed, the indicator lights will turn off if the START/RESET pad is not selected within two minutes. To activate the display, open and close the door or press any pad.

Also, if a power failure occurs, NORMAL and HEATED DRY will automatically be programmed. Make any new selections and touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle.
