to sanitize dishware. At the end of the cycle, when the cycle monitor recognizes that the proper conditions have been met, the SANITIZED light illuminates.
Sanitization may not be achieved if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).
EXTRA RINSE (select models)
Select Extra Rinse to add an additional rinse to the cycle. An extra rinse helps to improve results in hard water situations.
HEATED DRY
Select Heated Dry to turn on the heating element during dry for enhanced drying results. When Heated Dry is not selected,
towel drying of some items such as plastic and teflon may be necessary and more moisture may be noticed adhering to the dishwasher interior. With either dry option, it is normal to notice vapor escaping from the door vent.
START/CANCEL
To start a cycle, close the door and press the START/Cancel pad once. To cancel when a cycle is running, press the START/Cancel pad once. The dishwasher will drain, then shut off. To turn the dishwasher off without draining, press the START/Cancel pad twice.
The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you do not have to reset the cycle each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, just press the START/Cancel pad.
Display (select models)
The display will show the approximate cycle time. “2H” will appear in the display representing any cycle time greater than 99 minutes.
Indicator lights
The CLEAN light illuminates at the end of the cycle and remains lit until the door has been open for 30 seconds continuously.
The DRYING (select models) light illuminates during the entire dry period and goes out when the cycle is completed.
The WASHING (select models) light illuminates during all rinse and wash portions of the cycle.
The HEATING DELAY (select models) light illuminates when the cycle is being extended to heat the water.
The CLEAN and SANITIZED (select models) indicator lights will not re- illuminate after a power failure until after the next cycle is run.
The SANITIZED (select models) light illuminates at the end of the cycle when conditions have been met to achieve sanitization. The light will remain lit until the door has been open for 30 seconds continuously.
NOTE
❚When Sanitize is selected, cycles are monitored to assure sanitization. Unusually low water temperature will prevent sani- tization from being satisfied and the SANITIZED light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle.
❚Only these certified cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements: Auto Clean Cycle, Heavy Cycle, Normal Cycle and Light Cycle.
