PROGRAMS

To select a program, simply press the program button until the indicator light for the desired program comes on. The
programs are described below:

Pots and Pans (170°/Sani or 140° F)
For the heaviest soiled loads, such as casseroles, sauce pans, etc.

Heavy Wash (160° F or 130° F)
For heavily soiled loads, such as pots, pans, casseroles, etc.

Normal Wash (150° F or 130° F)
For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled pans, use the

Normal wash program 

 with normal temperature 

 and normal drying 

 .

To save more water and energy use economy temperature and economy drying.

Delicate Wash (105° F or 120° F)
For delicate items, such as fine china and crystal, that are washed immediately after use. When
using this program, you should set the temperature to low and dry the dishes without heat.

Quick Wash (85° F or 120° F)
For lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after use. This program can also be used for
delicate items, but you should set the temperature to low and dry the dishes without heat.

Rinse and Hold
To rinse dishes that you plan to wash later that day.

Temperature
The dishwasher has two temperature options for each wash program, as shown above. When this button is
set on the normal temperature, the main wash is heated to the higher temperature for the selected program.
If it is set to low (economy temperature), the main wash is heated to the lower temperature. The indicator light
will glow only when the normal  temperature is selected.

Delayed Start
This button allows you to delay starting the dishwasher for five hours. Press this button then press Start. The
button will glow when Delay Start is selected.  To cancel Delay Start, hold down the Start/Stop button for three
seconds.

Drying
The dishwasher has two drying levels Economy and Normal. When you want to have the maximum drying
result you activate the Normal option. That will increase the last rinse temperature to 160°F to heat the dishes
and tank before the drying cycle starts. The indicator light will glow only when this option is activated.
