Low Energy Washing (on some models)

Low Energy Washing (on some models)

Select this low energy washing option to reduce water temperature during the main wash and final rinse. This will reduce the amount of electricity needed to run the dishwasher.

NOTE: Low Energy Washing (on some models) is an option with all cycles.

Delay Hours (on some models)

Select this option to run your dishwasher at a later time or during off-peak hours.

To delay the start

1.Close the door.

2.Select a wash cycle and option.

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

The dishwasher starts the cycle in the selected number of hours. You can add items while the time is counting down.

3.Close and latch the door. The Cycle Control knob will not advance if the door is unlatched.

NOTES:

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

Rinse Only and the Light 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.

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.
