Operating Instructions

Options Selections
Hi-Temp Wash
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in main wash to ap-
proximately 140°F (60°C). This increase in
water temperature helps dishwasher detergent
remove food grease and soil from dishes more
effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH
option can be used with all cycles.
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
light above the pad will come on and remain
on until end of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP
WASH option, press the pad a second time.
The light above the pad will turn off.
Hi-Temp Rinse
A HI-TEMP RINSE of approximately 145°F
(63°C) will automatically be provided in the
final rinse if HI-TEMP WASH option has been
selected. This higher temperature helps speed
drying and reduce spotting.
No Heat Dry
NO HEAT DRY option saves electricity since
the heating element is off during drying portion
of cycle. When selected, the light above the
pad will come on and remain on until end of
cycle. To speed the drying process, open the
door slightly after the cycle is complete. Some
water droplets may remain on door and tub
and in areas where dishes touch silverware
basket and rack.
To select heated dry, press the pad a second
time. The light above the pad will turn off.
Heated dry provides faster drying since the
heating element is on during the drying portion
of the cycle. On some models, a fan circulates
the air inside the dishwasher to speed drying.
You may see water vapor coming from vent
during drying portion of cycle. The vent is
closed during washing to hold moisture and
sound inside and then opens 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 delay
starting your dishwasher for 4 hours. Press the
DELAY START pad and the light above the
pad will come on and 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.
