Starting your dishwasher
1. Select a drying option. (Use the Air Dry Option
for Rinse 8 Hold Cycle.)
2. Turn Cycle Control Knob clockwise to point to a
desired cycle. You will feel a definite stop at
each cycle mark. The dishwasher will automati-
cally start that cycle.
NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear cycles
start and stop as the knob passes each cycle
mark. This is normal and will not hurt the dish-
washer If you prefer, you can set cycles with the
door unlatched.
To add a dish after starting
1. To be sure the added item is washed and
rinsed, make sure the Cycle Control Knob has
not passed LIGHT WASH.
2. Lift up on the door latch to unlatch door and
stop the cycle.
3. Open the door and add the dish.
4. Close the door. Do not latch it. Wait 30
seconds for air in the dishwasher to warm up.
This helps reduce the amount of moisture
that can come from the vent when restarting
the cycle.
5. Press door in to latch it. The dishwasher will
start where it stopped.
Changing a cycle setting
You can change a setting anytime during
any cycle.
1. Lift up on the door latch to unlatch the door
and stop the cycle.
2. Turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to the
cycle you want.
3. Be sure the detergent dispensers are filled
properly for the new cycle. When changing dial
from LIGHT WASH to NORMAL WASH setting,
detergent is released. Reload covered section
of dispenser before starting Normal Wash
Cycle.
4. Close and latch the door. The dishwasher will
automatically start the new cycle.
