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 (130° F or 140° F)
For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled pans.
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.
Upper or Lower Basket Only
This option lets you choose to wash in either the upper basket, lower basket, or both. The upper
basket indicator light will glow when the upper basket only wash is activated. The lower basket
indicator light will glow when the lower basket only wash is activated. Both upper and lower basket
indicator lights will glow when the top and bottom basket wash is activated.
Temperature
The dishwasher has two temperature options for each wash program, as shown above. When this button is
set on the high temperature, the main wash is heated to the higher temperature for the selected program. If
it is set to low, the main wash is heated to the lower temperature. The indicator light will glow only when the
higher 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
This option speeds up the drying process by raising the temperature in the final rinse to 160° F to heat the
dishes and tank before the drying cycle begins. The indicator light will glow only when this option is activated.
Express
This option reduces the wash time and lowers the wash temperature by 18° or 20° F. Express is not available
with the Quick Wash and Rinse and Hold Programs.
