STEP 3

Select a Cycle

See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following section.

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 2 hours, but can take less or more time to complete depending on selections.

Select Options

See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following section.

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash.

STEP 4

Start or Resume a Cycle

Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off water.

Press START/RESUME once to show which

selections you used. Select the wash cycle and options desired OR press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash cycle.

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for

adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/ Resume button must be pressed each time.

If the Start/Resume button is located on top of door, push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If the door is not closed within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.
