About the dishwasher control panel.

Start

Close the dishwasher door and select the 
cycle and desired enhancements. Touch the

START/RESET

pad to begin the cycle. Water fill

begins, and approximately 60 seconds later the
wash action begins. 

NOTE: 

The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so

you don’t have to reprogram each time. When the
dishwasher door is fully closed, the control panel
lights will display the last settings you selected. 

If you don’t want to change any of the settings, simply
touch the 

START/RESET 

pad to begin the cycle.

If the door is closed the indicator lights will turn 
off if the 

START/RESET

pad is not selected within

two minutes. To activate the display, open and 
close the door or press any pad.
Also, if a power failure occurs,

NORMAL 

and 

HEATED

DRY 

will automatically be programmed. Make any

new selections and touch the 

START/RESET 

pad to

begin the cycle.

The 

CLEAN

light is illuminated when a wash cycle 

is complete. The light will stay

Using the dishwasher.

Check the Water Temperature

Use Jet-Dry

®

Rinse Agent

Jet-Dry

®

rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film buildup on your dishes, glasses,

flatware, cookware and plastic.

Filling the Dispenser

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal
conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full,
but do not overfill.

Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out.

Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.

Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.

Replace the dispenser knob.

Rinse Aid Setting

The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be
adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings 
of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.

To adjust the setting

Remove the dispenser knob; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise
to increase the amount of rinse agent.

The entering water should be at least 120°F and not
more than 150°F for effective cleaning and to prevent
dish damage. Check the water temperature with a
candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water

faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer
in a glass and let the water run continuously into the
glass until the temperature stops rising.
