† A small amount of water is run through the pump to remove
soil particles between the main wash and final rinse.
NOTE:
The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil
level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary from the
numbers above as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the
best wash performance.
Canceling a Cycle
Anytime during a cycle, press
CANCEL glows. The dishwasher pauses for 5 seconds and
starts a 2 minute drain (if needed). Let the dishwasher
drain completely. The light goes off when the dishwasher
finishes the drain.
To stop the drain
You can press Cancel again to stop the drain immediately.
Remember to drain the dishwasher before starting a new
cycle.
NOTE:
A small amount of water remains in the dishwasher.
This is normal.
To clear the indicators

options and cycles.
