Operating Instructions
Option Selections (available on select models)
Hi-Temp Wash
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected,
the dishwasher heats water in the main
wash to approximately 140
0
F (60
0
C).
This increase in water temperature helps
dishwasher detergent remove food grease
and soil from dishes more e ff ectively and
aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH option
can be used with all cycles except RINSE
ONLY. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically
provided when the HEAVY WASH cycle is
selected.

remain on until end of cycle. To turn o ff
the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the pad
a second time. The light above the pad
will turn o ff .
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. You may
choose not to select the HEAT DRY option;
however you will have items in your dish
load that will not be completely dry at the
end of the cycle.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you
to automatically delay starting your
dishwasher from 1-10, 1-24, 2-4-6 or 6-4-2
hours depending on your model.
On models with 1-10 or 1-24 hour delay,
press the DELAY START pad until the
desired delay time shows in the STATUS
window. A light will come on indicating
the delay start hours and will remain on
unitl cycle start.
On models with 2-4-6 hour delay, press the
pad once for a 2 hour delay, twice for 4
hours and 3 times for 6 hours. A light will
come on indicating the delay start hours
and will remain on until cycle starts.
On models with 6-4-2 hour delay, press the
pad once for a 6 hour delay, twice for 4
hours and three times for 2 hours. A light
will come on indicating the delay start

Sanitize or Sani Rinse Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware,
select the SANITIZE or SANI RINSE option.

fi nal rinse will be raised to 155
0
F (68
0
C)
and will maintain that temperature for 9
minutes. This option is available in HEAVY
and NORMAL WASH cycles. Only these
sanitizatin cycles have been 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
0
F (49
0
C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satis fi ed
if there is an interruption of the cycle,

option, press the pad a second time. The

Air Dry
The unit defaults to heated dry when it
is started with any cycle selected. This
drying uses a combination of heated dry
with rinse aid that achieves enhanced
drying performance. If you prefer to only
have AIR DRY for dishes, you will select
AIR DRY and the unit will not energize the
heating element. This will reduce energy
consumption, but also reduces drying
performance.
