Cycle Selection Chart
Select the wash cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear
the cycles start and stop as the Cycle Control knob passes
each cycle mark. This is normal and does not hurt the
dishwasher. If you prefer, you can set the Cycle Control
knob with the door unlatched.
NOTE: Use the Energy-Saver Dry option with the Rinse &
Hold cycle (on some models).
Models with a rocker switch:
Turn the Cycle Control knob to the desired cycle.
Models with 5 pads:
Press the desired cycle. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the
desired cycle. To use Rinse & Hold, press any cycle and
turn the Cycle Control knob to Rinse & Hold.
A “

” shows what steps are in each cycle.
Canceling a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle at any time.
1. Turn the Cycle Control knob slowly clockwise until you
hear water draining. Let the dishwasher drain
completely.
2. Open the door.
3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.
Changing a Cycle or Setting
If you dishwasher has more than one wash cycle, you can
change a cycle anytime during a cycle.
1. Lift the door latch to stop the cycle.
2. Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise.
3. Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled
properly for the new cycle.
NOTE: Turning the Cycle Control knob can cause the
covered Detergent Dispenser section to open and
release the detergent. Check the covered section if the
cycle uses detergent in both sections.
4. Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher
starts a new cycle.
Adding Items During a Cycle
You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts,
or the Cycle Control knob reaches Light Wash (on some
models).
1. Lift up the door latch to stop the cycle. Wait for the
spraying action to stop before opening the door.
2. Open the door and add the item.
3. Close the door, but do not latch it. Wait 30 seconds for
the air in the dishwasher to warm up. This reduces the
amount of moisture escaping from the vent when
restarting a cycle.
4. Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher
resumes the cycle.
Use this cycle for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled
pots, pans, casseroles, regular tableware, and
harder than normal water conditions.
Use both detergent dispenser sections.
