OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last cycle
so you do not have to reset each time. To start the
dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on
the previous wash, just press the START/CANCEL pad.
Wash Cycle Selections
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options
selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher
detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will
check the incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot
enough, the timer will be delayed for automatic water
heating in the main wash of all cycles. This happens even
when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been selected. When
HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will
be guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads.
Getting Started
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser &
Detergents).
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Close door to latch.
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator
light above the pad will glow when selected.
6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The
indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is
hot. Turn water off.
8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher
heats water in the main wash to approximately 140 o F
(60 o C).
This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher
detergent remove food greast 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 & HOLD. HI-TEMP WASH is
automatically provided when HEAVY WASH 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.
Hi-Temp Wash
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press
START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will start a 60
second drain. At the end of the drain, select the desired
cycle.
Air Dry
The unit defaults to heated dry when it is started with any
cycle selected. This drying uses a combination of the
heated dry with rinse aid that achieves enhanced drying
performance. If you prefer to only have AIR DRY for dishes,
you will select AIR DRY and the unit will not energize the
heating element. This will reduce energy consumption, but
reduce drying perfomance.
