Options Selections

Hi-Temp Wash

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in the main wash to
approximately 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 except CHINA CRYSTAL and RINSE
HOLD. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically provided
when POTS PANS cycle is selected.

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.

Sanitize Option

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the
SANITIZE option. When selected, the light above
the pad will come on and remain on until end of
cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will
be raised to 150°F (66°C) and will maintain that
temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available
in Pots Pans, Normal and Light (Both Racks)
cycles.

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°F (49°C).

The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is
an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the
incoming water temperature is below 120°F
(49°C).

To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a
second time. The light above the pad will turn off.

Power Dry Off

POWER DRY OFF 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. With either option, a fan circulates the air
inside the dishwasher to speed drying.

You may see water vapor coming from the vent
during the rinsing and drying portion of cycle. 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 delay
starting your dishwasher up to 9 hours or up to 6
hours (some models).

Press the DELAY START pad until the desired
delay time shows in the STATUS window. 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.

Note: The dishwasher is programmed to
remember 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.
