Option Selections
You can change an option anytime before the selected option
begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option
any time before drying begins.
No Heat Dry
Select this energy-saving option to dry without heat. No heat
drying is useful when loads contain plastic dinnerware that may
be sensitive to high temperatures.
The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur. For
best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics)
may need towel drying.
NOTE: The dishwasher automatically heats the air in the
dishwasher during the “dry” portion of the cycle unless you
select No Heat Dry.
Heated Dry
Select this option to dry dishes with heated air. For best drying
results, use a liquid rinse aid and heated drying.
NOTE: Heated Dry is an option with all cycles except Rinse Only.
Hi-Temp Boost (on some models)
Select this option to add extra heat to the water in the Heavy
wash or Normal wash cycles. This helps remove food soil.
Reset Options
Select this option to change an option setting. You can change
option settings anytime during a cycle as long as the cycle has
not passed the point where the option is used. For example, you
can press No Heat Dry anytime before the cycle control knob
reaches Dry.
1. Press RESET OPTIONS.
2. Press 1 or more options.
Delay Hours (on some models)
Use Delay Hours to run your dishwasher at a later time or during
off-peak hours. You can add items to the load anytime during the
delay countdown. After adding items, close the door firmly until it
latches. The delay countdown will not continue if the door is not
latched.
To delay the start
1. Close the door.
2. Select a wash cycle and option(s).
3. Turn the cycle control knob clockwise to the number of hours
you want the dishwasher to delay the start.
NOTES:
■
To cancel the delay, turn the cycle control knob to the desired
cycle.
■
Rinse Only and Normal wash cycles cannot be delayed.
Plate Warmer (on some models)
Use the Plate Warmer cycle to warm serving dishes or dinner
plates.
NOTE: Use the heated drying option with the Plate Warmer.
1. Close and latch the door.
2. Press HEATED DRY or RESET OPTIONS (depending on your
model).
3. Turn the cycle control knob to PLATE WARMER.
4. The cycle control knob will turn itself to OFF when the dishes
are ready.
Drying System
During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at
the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries
your dishes.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent
during drying.
Overfill Protection Float
The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the
dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be
in place for the dishwasher to operate.
Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector
from moving up or down.
WASHING SPECIAL ITEMS
If you have doubts about washing a particular item, check with
the manufacturer to see if it is dishwasher safe.
