Cycle Selection Charts
Select the wash cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the
dishwasher start and stop as the cycle control knob turns. This is
normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can
set the cycle control knob with the door unlatched.
Turn the cycle control knob to the desired cycle.
A “
●
” shows what steps are in each cycle.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
Cycle time includes dry time.
Canceling a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle at anytime.
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
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 Normal wash.
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.
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.
Air Dry
Select this energy-saving option to dry without heat. Air 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.
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.
NORMAL WASH
Use this cycle for loads with normal amounts of food soil. (The
energy-usage label is based on this cycle.)
Use both detergent dispenser sections.
