Canceling a Cycle

Anytime during a cycle, press CANCEL/DRAIN. Your dishwasher 
starts a 2-minute drain, if needed, and clears all indicators. Let 
the dishwasher drain completely.

NOTE: If your dishwasher does not need draining, the 
dishwasher stops and clears all indicators.

To stop the drain

You can press CANCEL/DRAIN again to stop the drain 
immediately. Be sure to drain the dishwasher before starting a 
new cycle.

To clear the indicators

Press CANCEL/DRAIN before starting the dishwasher to clear all 
options and cycles.

Changing a Cycle or Setting

During the first fill of a cycle

1. Press a new cycle and/or options.

2. Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled properly 

for the new cycle.

3. Press START/RESUME.

After the first fill of a cycle

1. Press CANCEL/DRAIN. Your dishwasher starts a 2-minute 

drain, if needed, and clears all indicators. Let the dishwasher 
drain completely.

NOTE: If your dishwasher does not need draining, the 
dishwasher stops and clears all indicators.

2. Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled properly 

for the new cycle.

3. Press a new cycle and/or options.

4. Press START/RESUME. (The door must be closed.)

Adding Items During a Cycle

You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts. Open 
the door and check the detergent dispenser. If the cover is still 
closed, you can add items.

To add items

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. If the detergent dispenser cover is still closed, 

add the item.

3. Close the door firmly until it latches. 

4. Press START/RESUME. The dishwasher resumes the cycle 

after a 5-second pause.

Option Selections

You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you 
change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option, 
or select a different option if desired. 

You can change an option anytime before the selected option 
begins. For example, you can turn off the drying option anytime 
before drying begins.

After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used. 
It uses the same options in the next wash cycle, if you press only 
START/RESUME.

Hi-Temp Wash

Select this option to increase the target water temperature during 
the wash portions of the cycle. Hi-Temp Wash raises the target 
water temperature to 145ºF (63ºC) in the main wash. Heating the 
water helps improve washing results. Hi-Temp Wash is useful 
when loads contain baked-on food.

This option adds heat, wash time and water to the cycle. 

NOTE: Hi-Temp Wash is an option with Pots & Pans and Normal 
cycles. 

Heated Dry

Select this option to dry dishes with heat. 

Switching off Heated Dry skips the dry period. This is useful when 
loads contain plastic dinnerware that may be sensitive to high 
temperatures. The dishes take longer to dry, and some spotting 
may occur. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying. 

For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid.

NOTE: Heated Dry is an option with all cycles, except the Rinse 
Only cycle. Heated Dry begins automatically with all cycles 
unless you switch it off.
