Select a Cycle
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just
as driving a car slower saves gas. Cycle times may increase or
decrease depending on selections. Estimated cycle times after
calibration are listed in the "Cycle and Options Descriptions"
chart in the following section. Select the desired cycle by
pressing the Cycles button. Each time you press the Cycles
button, it will advance to the next available cycle.
Select Options
See the "Cycle and Option Descriptions" charts in the
following section.
You can customize the cycles by pressing the options
desired and pressing Start/Resume.
NOTE: To repeat the same cycle and options used previously,
press START/RESUME twice.
STEP 4
Follow the Progress of the Dishwasher
Progress can be followed on the status display and by an
indicator light on the front panel.
The status display will glow for Wash (A),
Dry (B), Lock (C), Sanitized, or Clean. It
will also show the estimated remaining
time for the cycle in hours and minutes.
When delay is selected, the status display
will show an "H" for hour and the number
of hours to delay.
On models with top controls, an indicator
light on the front of the door panel will
glow green when a cycle is running and
turns off when the cycle is complete.
Start or Resume a Cycle

■
water is hot. Turn off water.

■
as it enters the dishwasher.

■
control models the door must be firmly
closed within 4 seconds of pressing
Start/Resume. If door is not closed

IMPORTANT: After a cycle is started (even if Delay Hours has
been selected), if the door is open longer than 3 seconds, the
LEDs will flash and an audible tone will sound to signal that you
must press the Start/Resume button again to resume the cycle.
