For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled pans.
Delicate Wash (105° F or 120° F)
For delicate items, such as fine china and crystal, that are washed immediately after use. When
using this program, you should set the temperature to low and dry the dishes without heat.
Quick Wash (85° F or 120° F)
For lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after use. This program can also be used for
delicate items, but you should set the temperature to low and dry the dishes without heat.
Rinse and Hold
To rinse dishes that you plan to wash later that day.
Upper or Lower Basket Only
This option lets you wash only the upper or lower basket. This means mainly the upper or lower spray arm will
function. The upper basket indicator light on the option button will glow when only the upper spray arm is
activated. The lower basket indicator light will glow when mainly the lower spray arm is activated. Both lights will
glow when both spray arms are activated.
Temperature
The dishwasher has two temperature options for each wash program, as shown above. When this button is
set on the high temperature, the main wash is heated to the higher temperature for the selected program. If
it is set to low, the main wash is heated to the lower temperature. The indicator light will glow only when the
higher
temperature is selected.
Delayed Start
This button allows you to delay starting the dishwasher for five hours. Press this button then press Start. The
button will glow when Delay Start is selected. To cancel Delay Start, hold down the Start/Stop button for three
seconds.
Drying
This option speeds up the drying process by raising the temperature in the final rinse to 160° F to heat the
dishes and tank before the drying cycle begins. The indicator light will glow only when this option is
activated
.
Express
This option reduces the wash time and lowers the wash temperature by 18° or 20° F. Express is not available
with the Quick Wash and Rinse and Hold Programs.
