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 and HOLD. 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.
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.
The HEAT DRY may not be a chosen option; however
there may be items in the dish load that will not be
completely dry at the end of the cycle.
Water vapor may be seen coming from the vent during
the drying portion of cycle. 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 drying
cycle.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to automatically
delay starting the dishwasher from 1-24 hours. On
models with 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 the cycle starts.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the
cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/
CANCEL pad.
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.
