Changing aCycleorSetting
If your dishwasher has more than one wash cycle, you can change a cycle anytime during a cycle.
1.Lift the door latch to stop the cycle.
2.Press a cycle and, if desired, press an option.
3.Turn the cycle control knob clockwise.
4.Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled properly for the new cycle.
NOTE: Turning the cycle control knob can cause the covered detergent dispenser section to open and release the detergent. Check the covered section if the cycle uses detergent in both sections.
5.Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher starts a new cycle.
AddingItemsDuringaCycle
You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts, or the cycle control knob reaches Normal Wash.
To add items
1.Lift up the door latch to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying action to stop before opening the door.
2.Open the door and add the item.
3.Close the door, but do not latch it. Wait 30 seconds for the air in the dishwasher to warm up. This reduces the amount of moisture escaping from the vent when restarting a cycle.
4.Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher resumes the cycle.
OptionSelections
You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you change your mind, press RESET OPTIONS to turn the option off. Select a different option if desired.
You can change an option anytime before the selected option begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option anytime before drying begins.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used and uses the same options in the next wash cycle, unless you select new options or press RESET OPTIONS.
Hi-Temp Wash
Select this option to heat the water to 140°F (60°C) in the main wash. This option adds heat and wash time. Heating the water helps improve washing results.
NOTE: The Pots & Pans cycle automatically uses this option.
No Heat Dry
Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy. The dishes take longer to dry, and some spotting can occur.
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 No Heat Dry.
Reset Options
Select this option to change an option setting.
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 No Heat Dry anytime before the cycle control knob reaches Dry.
1.Press RESET OPTIONS.
2.Press 1 or more options.

2.Turn the cycle control knob to Plate Warm.
3.Allow 8 minutes for the cycle to heat the dishware.
4.Turn the cycle control knob to Off.
DryingSystem
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.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.
Overfill Protection Float
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.
