Options Selections
Hi-Temp Wash
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in the main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C).
This increase in water temperature helps
dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil
from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. HI-
TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles
except CHINA CRYSTAL (some models) and
RINSE ONLY. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically
provided when POTS & PANS cycle is selected.
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the light
above the pad will come on and remain on until end
of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option,
press the pad a second time. The light above the
pad will turn off.
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the
SANITIZE option. When selected, the light above
the pad will come on and remain on until end of
cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will
be raised to 155°F (68°C) and will maintain that
temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available
in Pots & Pans, Normal and Light (Both Racks)
cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been
designed to meet NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper
water temperature is reached. Washing action will
continue during the water heating delay. For best
results, the incoming water temperature should be
at least 120°F (49°C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is
an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the
incoming water temperature is below 120°F
(49°C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a
second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
Heat Dry
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid
will enhance drying performance. The energy
required to use the HEAT DRY option costs
pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select
the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items
in your dish load that will not be completely dry at
the end of the cycle.
You may see water vapor coming from the vent
during the drying portion of cycle. The vent is
closed during washing to hold moisture and sound
inside. The vent opens during the last few minutes
of the final rinse and remains open for drying. The
drying option may be changed at any time during
the cycle and affects only the drying period.
Opening the door longer than one minute during
the dry cycle cancels the selected dry program.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to
automatically delay starting your dishwasher from
1-10, 1-24 or 2-4-6 hours depending on your
model.
On models with 1-10 or 1-24 hour delay, press the
DELAY START pad until the desired delay time
shows in the STATUS window. A light will come
on indicating the delay start hours and will remain
on until cycle starts.
On models with 2-4-6 hour delay, press the pad
once for a 2 hour delay, twice for 4 hours and three
