Status Indicator Lights

The WASHING light (some models) comes on at
the beginning of cycle and remains on until the
end of the main wash.
The DRYING light (some models) indicates the
drying portion of the cycle. The light will come on
when either drying option is selected.

When the SANITIZE option is selected, the
SANITIZED light will glow when the SANITIZE
cycle is finished. If the dishwasher did not properly
sanitize the dishes, the light will not come on. This
can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light will
remain on until the door is opened.
The CLEAN light (some models) will come on at
end of cycle and remain on until door is opened.

Child Lock Controls

To prevent children from accidently changing the
dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock
the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing
the RINSE ONLY pad for 3 seconds while the door

is latched. An indicator light on the lock graphic

pad will illuminate when the controls

are locked and no new selections can be made

until the lock is released. To unlock the controls,
press the RINSE ONLY pad until the indicator light
goes out.

Options Selections

Air Dry Option

The AIR DRY option saves pennies per cycle
since the heating element is off during the drying
portion of the cycle.

The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse
aid will enhance drying performance.  The energy
required to use the HEAT DRY option costs
pennies per cycle.  You may choose not to select
the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items
in your dish load that will not be completely dry at
the end of the cycle.

You may see water vapor coming from the vent
during the drying portion of cycle with either option.
The vent is closed during washing to hold moisture
and sound inside. The vent opens during the last
few minutes of the final rinse and remains open for
drying. The drying option may be changed at any
time during the cycle and affects only the drying
period.
Opening the door longer than one minute during
the dry cycle cancels the selected dry program.

Delay Start

The DELAY START option allows you to

automatically delay starting your dishwasher from

2-4-6 hours.
On models with 2-4-6 hour delay, press the pad

once for a 2 hour delay, twice for 4 hours and three

times for 6 hours. A light will come on

indicating the delay start hours and will remain on

until cycle starts.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the

cycle before the delay period is over, press the
START/CANCEL pad.

To Cancel a Cycle

You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle.
Press START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher
will start a 90 second drain. At the end of the drain,
select the desired cycle.
