Changing a Program

Changing a Program After the Unit has Started

The dishwasher is programmed to stop operating if the door is opened during a cycle. To change a program or option after starting the machine, open the door slightly to let the spray arms stop rotating and avoid getting sprayed with water. Press and hold “START” for four seconds to cancel the current selection, then press the touchpad(s) for your desired selection.

Press “START” again and close the door. The drain pump will run to remove any dirty water from the dishwasher before starting the newly selected cycle. Check to make sure there is still detergent in the detergent dispenser.

Opening the Door after Cycle has Started

If the door is opened after the cycle has started, the ”START” button will flash to indicate that the dishwasher is in Standby Mode. Press the “START” button and close the door securely within 4 seconds to restart the cycle.
