2.Open the door and add the item.

Option Selections
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 any time 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. Hi- Temp Wash is an option with the Heavy and Normal wash cycles. This option does not work with the Light wash cycle.
Air 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 Air Dry.
Reset Options

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.
