Changing a Cycle or Setting
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.Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise.
3.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.
4.Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher starts a new cycle.
Adding Items During a Cycle
You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts, or the Cycle Control knob reaches Light Wash.
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.
