Forget a dish? Here’s when you can add it.

Add dishes any time during the RINSE & HOLD
cycle. With other wash cycles, you can 

 dishes

at any time BEFORE the main detergent wash portion

 the cycle.

However, opening the door during any cycle
lessens cleaning power. So try to load everything
at the beginning.

Here’s how to add a forgotten dish:

1. Push the door latch to the left. Washing will stop.

2. Wait a few seconds until the water calms. Then

open the door. WARNING: Hot vapor may rise
from opened door.

3. Add dishes you’ve forgotten.

4. Close the door and push the latch to the far right.

When the door is locked, washing will continue.
