Air Dry

Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy. The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur.

AIR DRY

For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

NOTE: The dishwasher automatically heats the air in the dishwasher during the “dry” portion of the cycle unless you select Air Dry.

NOTES:

To cancel the delay, turn the Cycle Control knob to the desired cycle.

Rinse Only and the Normal Wash cycles cannot be delayed.

IMPORTANT:

Operate your dishwasher only when you are at home.

If your home is equipped with a water softener, do not start the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener.

Drying System

During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.

You can change option settings anytime during a cycle as long as the cycle has not passed the point where the option is used. For example, you can press Air Dry anytime before the Cycle Control knob reaches Dry.

1.Press RESET.

2.Press 1 or more options.

Delay Hours

Use Delay Hours to run your dishwasher at a later time or during off-peak hours. You can add items to the load anytime during the delay countdown. After adding items, close the door firmly until it latches. The delay countdown will not continue if the door is not latched.

To delay the start

1.Close the door.

2.Select a wash cycle and option(s).

3.Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise to the number of hours you want the dishwasher to delay the start.

IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.

OverfillProtectionFloat

The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.
