Cycle Data
Changing a program after the unit
has started
The dishwasher is programmed to stop operating if
the door is opened during a cycle. To change a
program or option after starting the machine, open
the door slightly to let the spray arms stop rotating
and avoid getting sprayed with water. Press and hold
“START” for four seconds to cancel the current
selection. Then press the touchpad(s) for your
desired selection.
Press “START” again and close the door. The drain
pump will run to remove any dirty water from the
dishwasher before starting the newly selected cycle.
Check to make sure there is still detergent in the
detergent dispenser.
Opening the door after Cycle
has started
If the door is opened for longer than five seconds,
after the cycle has started, the ”START” button will
flash to indicate that the dishwasher is in Standby
Mode. Press the “START” button before closing the
door and the cycle will resume.
Power On Light
A blue light will illuminate from the bottom right
corner of the dishwasher kickplate when a cycle is
running.
• Load all items so that the force of the water and
the detergent reach soiled surfaces.
• DO NOT let china, crystal, and other delicate items
touch each other during dishwasher operation.
• DO NOT use door to push racks in.
• DO NOT put stainless steel of different qualities
close to each other. Contact can damage metals.
• Rinse stainless steel items if they will not be
washed immediately. Prolonged contact with salty
or acidic foods will cause stains.
Note: DO NOT load dishes in a manner that would
block the detergent dispenser lid from completely
opening. The detergent dispenser could be
damaged.
Note: DO NOT put sterling silver or silver-plated
flatware in the same compartment with stainless steel.
Contact between the metals can damage silver.
Extra Quiet Operation Hints
Your dishwasher has been designed and engineered
to give superior cleaning results and to operate very
quietly. To avoid any extra clattering or thumping
noises during operation:
• Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher
operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
• Load dishes so they do not touch each other.
• Make sure lightweight items are secured in
the rack.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., DO NOT touch interior walls.
The Silverware/Cutlery Basket
Tips for Best Cleaning Results:
• Distribute items evenly and mix knives, forks, and
spoons so that items will avoid nesting.
• ALWAYS place forks and spoons with eating
portions up and handles down.
• Each compartment has a lid which will separate the
silverware for the best cleaning and drying results.
The lids also hold small, lightweight items in place.
• IMPORTANT: Sharp or pointed items, such as
knives, should always be put in with the point
down to protect your hands.
• Basket can be moved to upper rack or lower rack.
Adjusting Racks
The Lower Rack
The lower rack is best for dinner plates, smaller plates,
serving plates, larger bowls, pots, and pans.
• Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in
the rack.
• Use the fold-down tines to provide space for large
items such as
pots and pans.
• Make sure pot
handles and
other items
DO NOT stop
rotation of lower
wash arm by
hanging below
the rack.
The Upper Rack
The upper rack is best for glasses, cups, bowls, small
plates, and saucers and can accommodate full-sized
plates up to 10-1/4”.
• Make sure small plastic items are held firmly in
place with Hold Tight™ dividers.
• Arrange
stemware
between prongs
of stemware
cradle so that
the stemware
cannot move
easily.
• Make sure items
hanging below
the rack DO NOT block the rotation of
the wash arm.
