STARTING YOUR DISHWASHER

STARTING YOUR DISHWASHER

Starting a wash cycle

1.Load the dishwasher. See the “Loading Starting a wash cycleStopping the dishwasherManual background Your Dishwasher” section.

6.Run hot water at the sink nearest the dish washer until water is hot. Turn

water off.

2. Spin the spray arms. They should

turn freely.

3.Add detergent. See the “Using the detergent dispenser” section.

4.Add rinse agent, if needed.

5.Close door firmly until it latches.

7.Press a Cycle pad. If desired, press one or more Option pads. (See the “Setting the Controls” section.) The indicator above each pad will show red when selected. NOTE: More than one cycle

shares the same pad. The Cycle Control knob determines which cycle operates.

8.Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise to the desired cycle. You will feel

a definite “stop” at each cycle

mark. The dishwasher auto-

matically starts the cycle you select.

NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start and stop as the control knob passes each cycle mark. This is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can set the Cycle Control knob with the door unlatched.

Stopping the dishwasher

You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle. All you have to do is:

Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling or spraying action to stop before opening the door all the way. Close the door to continue the cycle.

OR

Turn the Cycle Control knob slowly clock- wise until you hear water draining.

Let the dishwasher drain completely. Then open the door and turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.
