Changing a Cycle or Setting

During the first 2 minutes of a cycle

Press a new cycle and/or options.

After the first 2 minutes of a cycle

1.Press CANCEL/DRAIN. Cancel/Drain glows. The dishwasher pauses for 5 seconds and starts a 2-minute drain (if needed). Let the dishwasher drain completely.

2.Check the detergent dispensers. If the main wash cup has opened and the detergent washed away, refill the cups as needed.

3.Close the door.

4.Press a new cycle and/or options and press START/ RESUME.

Adding Items During a Cycle

You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts. Open the door and check the detergent dispenser. If the main wash section is still closed, you can add items.

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. If the main wash detergent dispenser is still closed, 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 and press START/ RESUME. The dishwasher resumes the cycle after about a 5-second pause.

Option Selections

You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. 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 CANCEL/DRAIN.

Hi-Temp Wash

Select this high-temperature option for improved cleaning of heavily soiled dishes. Selecting this option adds heat, water and time to the wash cycle. Heating the water helps improve washing results.

NOTE: Hi-Temp Wash is an option with Heavy wash and Normal wash.

Heated Dry

Select this option to dry dishes with heat.

Switching off Heated Dry saves energy and is useful when loads contain plastic dinnerware that may be sensitive to high temperatures. 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: Heated Dry is an option with all cycles except Rinse Only.

Locked

Use Locked to prevent unintended use of the dishwasher. You can also use the Locked feature to prevent unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle.

NOTE: When Locked is lit, all buttons are disabled.

NOTE: The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls are locked.

Delay Hours

Use Delay Hours 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.

To delay the start

1.Close the door.

2.Press DELAY 1 time for a 2-hour delay, 2 times for a 4-hour delay, or 3 times for a 6-hour delay.
