OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Option Selections 

High Temp Wash Option 

When HIGH TEMP WASH option is selected, the 

dishwasher heats water in the main wash to 

approximately 140

o

F (60

o

C).

This increase in water temperature helps the 

dishwasher detergent remove food grease and 

soil from dishes more effectively and aids in 

improved drying performance.  HIGH TEMP

light above the pad will come on and remain on 

until end of cycle.  To turn off the HIGH TEMP 

WASH option, press the pad a second time.

your last cycle so you do not have to reset 

each time.  To start the dishwasher using 

the same cycle and options selected on the 

previous wash, just press the START/CANCEL 

pad.

Heat Dry

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; however you 

will have items in your dish load that will not 

be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

the dishwasher cycle or starting the 

dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by
