Features and appearance may vary slightly.

STEP 1. Load your dishwasher. See Loading section.

STEP 2. Add detergent to the detergent dispenser. (See Detergent Guide.) For best results use your rinse agent at all times. Not only will it help prevent spotting and provide optimum drying results, but your rinse agent rinses the tub and inner door of your dishwasher which will give it a polished look. See the Rinse Agent section.

STEP 3. The wash arms must be free to move and should not be blocked by an item extending into them.

STEP 4. Latch the door.

STEP 5. Push the Cycle Selector dial so that it is extended. Turn the dial to the cycle you desire by lining up the white line on the dial with the Cycle Indicator on the control panel. Press the corresponding Cycle Selector button if needed or if an option is desired.

•If You Do Not Wish to Use DELAY START, continue turning the Cycle Selector dial until the green line on the dial lines up with the cycle indicator on the control panel, then go to Step 6.

•If You Wish to Use DELAY START, you can delay the start of a wash cycle for up to 9 hours. Press the ON/OFF button to light up the Delay Start indicator. Tap the Delay Start pad to choose the amount of hours you want to delay the start of the cycle. Turn the Cycle Selector dial until the green line on the dial lines up with the cycle indicator on the control panel.

The machine will start automatically at the correct time. To stop the dishwasher, press the ON/OFF button. Go to Step 7.

•POTS & PANS—For items such as pots, pans and casseroles with dried-on or baked-on soils. Everyday dishes may be included. Burned-on food and food burned black should be presoaked and scoured. The dishwasher cannot remove burned-on food.

Drying

The dishwasher has an energy efficient wash and dry system. The heat energy from the wash cycle is used to dry the dishes. After the wash cycle it will take an additional 45 minutes for a typical load of dishes to dry. Quicker drying can be accomplished by opening the door slightly. The use of a rinse agent is recommended. It will improve drying and lessen water spotting.

To Interrupt a Cycle

To interrupt a cycle, press the ON/OFF button. If you’re interrupting the cycle during a wash or rinse cycle wait until the water noises stop before opening the door. The cycle may be resumed by closing the door and pressing the ON/OFF button again. As a safety feature the dishwasher will automatically turn itself off whenever the door is opened. However, if the door is opened quickly while in a wash or rinse cycle some water may splash out of the dishwasher. For this reason it is recommended that the machine always be switched to off before opening the door. If you have used the ON/OFF button to interrupt the cycle, remember to turn the machine back on by pressing ON/OFF.
