the door slightly until the spray arms stop turning. You
can then open the door fully and place the item into the
dishwasher. Close the door securely. The program will
continue from where it was interrupted.

WARNING!
Be extremely careful when opening the door during
a program. The water is hot and you could get
scalded.

If you decide to change the program after you have started
the machine, press the Start/Stop button for three
seconds. You will have to select the program and
options again when you are ready to restart the program.
(Note: If the program has already gone through the wash
cycle, you will have to add detergent.)

PROGRAM TIMES

The program times may not always be the same
because of variations in the household hot water
temperature. The dishwasher heats the water to the
proper temperature for the program selected; so if the
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher is
too low, the dishwasher will run longer because it takes
longer to heat the water. Raising your water heater
setting could help to shorten the cycle times.
