Your dishwasher offers various cycles and options to adjust
to specific load conditions. Please refer to the chart below.

es and pots & pans

The indicator light above the option will illuminate when the
option is selected. Press the pad again to cancel an option

Delay/Resume can delay or interrupt any wash cycle for 2, 4,
or 6 hours. To set up a delay, first select the appropriate cycle

automatically start as soon as the delay time expires.
Care & Cleaning
Interior
The dishwasher interior
Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if
any large particles have not gone through the strainer por-
tion of the module.
Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil
splashes which occurred during loading.
The color from some tomato-based food soils has been
known to occasionally adhere to today's dishwasher tubs,
causing temporary discoloration. To help prevent this, when
washing a load of dishes soiled with tomato sauce:
• Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes, prior
to loading. Do not prewash the dishes, however.
• Run the Heavy Wash cycle.

If you wish to cancel the delay start, simply press the
Delay/Resume pad again. The indicator light will go out
and the cycle will start immediately. This pad can also be
pressed to temporarily interrupt a cycle. The cycle will resume
from the point of interruption when the delay time runs out or
when the Delay/Resume pad is pressed again.
AccuTemp ™ checks the main wash and final rinse water tem-
peratures and will extend the heating and water circulation
until proper water temperature is reached. Select
AccuTemp to ensure proper water temperature for activat-
™
ing detergent and dissolving greasy food soils.
Heated Dry turns on the heating element during dry for
enhanced drying results. Cancelling Heated Dry turns the
heating element off. Towel drying of some items may be nec-
essary.
Drain/OFF Pressing the pad once will drain the dishwasher
and then turn it off. Pressing the pad twice will turn it off
without draining.
Indicator Lights:
CLEAN glows at the end of the dry cycle.
DRY light glows during the entire dry period and goes out
when the cycle is completed.
WASH light glows during all wash portions.
HEATING DELAY glows to indicate that the cycle is being
extended to heat the water to proper temperature.
Exterior
The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders
or cleaning pads.
Storage/Moving
Fill both detergent cups with a fresh-scented dishwasher
detergent or baking soda and select the Normal Wash cycle.
Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the
water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, press the
Drain/Off pad once. Operate the drain twice to ensure most
of the water is removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply
and prop open the door. (See Important Safety Instructions,
#14, page 1).
