OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select
SANITIZE option. When selected, the light
above the pad will come on and reamin on until
end of cycle. The water temperature in the
fi nal rinse will be raised to 155
o
F (68
o
C) and
will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes.
This option is available in Heavy and Normal
Cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have ben
designed to meet NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper
water temperature is reached. Washing
action will continue during the water heating
delay. For best results, the incoming water
temperature should be at least 120
o
F (49
o
C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfi ed if there
is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if
the incoming water temperature is below 120
o
F
(49
o
C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad
a second time. The light above the pad will
turn off.
Delay Start

automatically delay starting your dishwasher for
1-24 hours.
To start delay, press the DELAY START pad until

window. 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.
Heat Dry/Air Dry
Use the HEAT DRY option, especially in
combination with use of rinse agent, will
enhance drying. If AIR DRY is selected the
heater will be de-activated during the drying
phase of the selected wash cycle. This will
slightly lower the energy use but will increase
the likelihood that the dishware will not dry
completely.

the dishwasher cycle or starting the
dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls
by pressing and releasing the AIR DRY pad
(some models) or the RINSE ONLY pad (some

and no new selections can be made until the

the same pad, AIR DRY or RINSE ONLY, until
the indicator light goes out.

cycle. Press START/CANCEL pad and the
dishwasher will start a 90 second drain. At the
end of the drain, select the next desired cycle.

Sahara Dry
TM
When SAHARA DRY
TM
option is selected, the
dishwasher increases the temperature of
the fi nal rinse and extends drying time by
approximately 20 minutes. The SAHARA DRY
TM
option can be used with all cycles except
ENERGY SAVER and RINSE ONLY. For best
drying performance, select HI-TEMP WASH
and/or SANITIZE. This will increase the
temperature during the wash cycle to improve
drying.
The energy required to use the SAHARA DRY
TM
option costs pennies per cycle. You may
choose not to select the SAHARA DRY
TM
option;
however you may have items in your dish load
that will not be completely dry at the end of
the cycle.
