Delay

The Delay option can be used to automatically start the cycle at a later time to reduce daytime heat buildup in the home or to take advantage of reduced energy costs if available in your area. This option is also useful for conserving hot water at times of high household usage (showers, laundry).

To set up a Delay:

1.Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load. Close the door.

2.Press the Delay pad until the desired amount of delay time is selected.

3.The Delay indicator and the count down display (select models) will flash until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.

4.As soon as the START/Cancel pad is pressed, the flashing will stop and the delay time will begin counting down. The Delay indicator will remain lit until the delay time has counted down.

5.The cycle will automatically start as soon as the delay time expires.

Control Lock Option (select models)

The control touchpads can be locked to prevent unwanted use. If this feature is activated between cycles, the dishwasher cannot be operated until the controls are unlocked. If desired, the controls can be locked after a cycle or delay has started.

Setting the Control Lock:

1.Press the Heated Dry pad for three seconds.

2.An indicator light next to the lock graphic will illuminate when the controls are locked.

To Cancel:

1.Press the Heated Dry pad for three seconds.

2.The indicator light will go off.

Notes

•If a cycle or option pad is pressed after the controls have been locked, the indicator light next to the lock graphic will flash five times. On selected models with a countdown display, the display will flash an “L” simultaneously with the lock indicator.

•This option does not lock the door, only the dishwasher controls.

Note

•If 30 seconds elapse between setting the cycle and options and pressing the START/Cancel pad, the dishwasher will turn off.

To cancel a Delay:

When the delay is counting down, press the Delay pad again. The indicator light will go out and the cycle will start or resume immediately.

To cancel a Delay and the cycle:

•Press START/Cancel once to drain and turn off the dishwasher.

Or

•Press START/Cancel twice to turn dishwasher off without draining.
