Delay Wash (on some models)

Use Delay Wash 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.

NOTES:

■To cancel the delay, turn the cycle control knob to the desired cycle.

■Rinse Only and Normal Wash cycles cannot be delayed.

Use the Plate Warmer cycle to warm serving dishes or dinner plates.

NOTE: Use the heated drying option with the Plate Warmer.

2.Turn the cycle control knob to PLATE WARMER.

3.Allow 8 minutes for the cycle to heat the dishware.

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.

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.
