About the dishwasher control panel.

Start

Close the dishwasher door and select the
cycle and desired enhancements. Touch the
START/RESET pad to begin the cycle. Water fill
begins, and approximately 60 seconds later the
wash action begins.
NOTE: The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so
you don’t have to reprogram each time. When the
dishwasher door is fully closed, the control panel
lights will display the last settings you selected.

If you don’t want to change any of the settings, simply
touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle.
If the door is closed the indicator lights will turn
off if the START/RESET pad is not selected within
two minutes. To activate the display, open and
close the door or press any pad.
Also, if a power failure occurs, NORMAL and HEATED
DRY
will automatically be programmed. Make any
new selections and touch the START/RESET pad to
begin the cycle.

but do not overfill.

Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.

Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.

of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.

more than 150°F, for effective cleaning and to prevent
dish damage. Check the water temperature with a
candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water

faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer
in a glass and let the water run continuously into the
glass until the temperature stops rising.
