CONTROLS AT A GLANCE

Delay/Resume

The Delay/Resume option can be used to
automatically start the cycle at a later time,
such as during off-peak hours for reduced
energy cost or to reduce daytime heat
buildup in the home.
TO SET UP A DELAY:
1. Select the appropriate cycle and
options for the load.
2. Press the Delay/Resume pad until the
desired amount of delay time (1 to 9
hours) is selected. The delay time will
begin counting down when the pad is
released.
3. The Delay/Resume indicator light will
remain lit until the delay time has
counted down.
4. The cycle will automatically start as
soon as the delay time expires.

OPERATING TIPS

Starting the Dishwasher

1. After loading the dishwasher and
adding detergent, close the dishwash-
er by pressing the door until the latch
clicks.
2. To start the dishwasher, firmly press
the desired cycle and options pads.
After a pause, the fill will begin. To pre-
vent unplanned cycle or option
changes, these selections are "locked
in" after 1 minute.
3. The indicator lights for the selected
cycle and options will glow.
4. To cancel an option, press the pad
again. To cancel a cycle, press the
Drain/Off pad.

NOTE:
If Delay/Resume is chosen with-
out selecting a cycle and/or
options, the dishwasher will
select the last cycle used. (It will
not remember the Rinse Only
cycle.)
TO CANCEL A DELAY:
Wait at least 2 seconds, then press the
Delay/Resume pad again. The indicator
light will go out and the cycle will start or
resume immediately.

Control Lock Option

The control touchpads can be locked to
prevent unwanted use. If this feature is
activated between cycles, the dishwasher
cannot be operated until the controls are
unlocked. If desired, the controls can be
locked after a cycle or delay has started.
NOTE:
Extended interruption of the wash
cycle is not recommended.
Adding a Forgotten Item
For best cleaning, the forgotten item
should be added early in the cycle.
1. Press the Delay/Resume pad or
unlatch the door.
2. Wait for the water circulation to stop.
3. Open the door and add the item.
NOTE:
This option does not lock the
door, only the dishwasher con-
trols.
SETTING THE CONTROL LOCK:
1. Press the pad for three seconds.
2. An indicator light above the pad will
illuminate when the controls are
locked.
TO CANCEL:
1. Press the pad for three seconds.
2. The indicator light will go off.
NOTE:
If a cycle or option pad is pressed
after the controls have been
locked, the indicator light above
the Control Lock pad will flash
five times.
4. Close and latch the door.
If Delay/Resume was pushed,
push it again to restart the dish-
washer.
5. After five seconds, the cycle resumes
automatically at the point of interrup-
tion.
NOTE:
If a cycle or option pad is pressed
after the controls have been
"locked in", the indicator light
above the Control Lock pad will
flash five times.
