Forget a dish? Here's when
you can add it.
Add dishes any time during the
RINSE ONLY cycle. With other
wash cycles, you can add dishes
at any time BEFORE the main
detergent wash portion of the cycle.
However, opening the door during
any cycle lessens cleaning power.
So try to load everything at the
beginning.
Here's how to add a forgotten dish:
1. Push the door latch to the left.
Washing will stop.
2. Wait a few seconds until the
water calms. Then open the door.
3. Add dishes you've forgotten.
4. Close the door and push the
latch to the far right. When the
door is locked, washing will
continue.
