To add a dish after starting

2.Unlatch the doorto stop the cycle, but don’t open it until the spray arms stop spinning.

3.Open the door and add the dish.

Some items [such as plastics] may need towel drying.

Open the door long enough for steam to es- cape. Close the doorto allow the Cycle Control Knob to complete its cycle.

4.Close the door. Do not latch it. Wait 30 sec- onds for air in the dishwasher to warm up. This helps reduce the amount of moisture that can come from the vent when restart- ing the cycle.

5.Latch the door. The dishwasher will start from where it stopped.
