Starting your dishwasher

1.Push a Clean Selector Button for the de- sired cycle.

2.Push Option Selector Button for desired option or options. (Use AIR DRY for RINSE & HOLD Cycle.)

3.Turn Cycle Control Knob clockwise to point to a desired cycle. You will feel a definite stop at each cycle mark.

-POTS & PANS and HEAVY WASH Cycles share the same spot on the dial. The Clean Selector Button determines which cycle operates.

The dishwasher will automatically start that cycle.

The AIR DRY Option

Air in the dishwasher is automatically heated during the “dry” part of all cycles,

If the AIR DRY Option is selected, air in the dishwasher is not heated. Using this option helps save energy, but dishes take longerto dry [over- night] and some water spotting may result.

HI-TEMP WASHING Option

When this option is selected, water for the main wash and the final rinse is heated to145”F (63°C).

Changing a setting

You can change a setting anytime during any cycle.

1.Press in the door latch to unlatch the door and stop the cycle.

2.Turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to the cycle you want.

Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

For best results, use a liquid rinse aid such as Jet-Dry?

If the water is already hot enough, the cycle continues without delay. The WATER HEATING HOLD Signal Light will be on while the cycle de- lays for water heating.

3.Be sure the detergent dispensers are filled properly for the new cycle.

4.Close and latch the door. The dishwasher will

automatically start the new cycle.

To add a dish after starting

1.To be sure the added item is washed and rinsed, make sure the Cycle Control Knob has not passed LOW ENERGY WASH.

2.Unlatch the doorto stop the cycle.

3.Open the door and add the dish.

4.Close the door. Do not latch it. Wait 30 sec- onds for air in the dishwasher to warm up. Thus 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.

The CLEAN Signal Light

The CLEAN Signal Light will come on when a washing cycle is complete.

To turn it off. Turn the Control Knob clockwise slightly until the light goes off.
