Canceling a Cycle

Anytime during a cycle, press
Cancel/Drain glows. The dishwasher pauses for about 5 seconds
and starts a 2-minute drain (if needed). Let the dishwasher drain
completely. The light goes off when the dishwasher finishes the
drain.
To stop the drain
You can press Cancel/Drain again to stop the drain immediately.
Remember to drain the dishwasher before starting a new cycle.
NOTE: A small amount of water remains in the dishwasher. This
is normal.
To clear the indicators
Press Cancel/Drain before starting the dishwasher to clear all
options and cycles.

Changing a Cycle or Setting

During the first minute of a cycle
Press a new cycle and/or options.
After the first minute of a cycle
1. Press
Cancel/Drain glows. The dishwasher pauses for 5 seconds
and starts a 2-minute drain (if needed). Let the dishwasher
drain completely.
2. Check the detergent dispensers. If the main wash cup has
opened and the detergent washed away, refill the cups as
needed.
3. Close the door.
4. Press a new cycle and/or options.

Adding Items During a Cycle

You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts. Open
the door and check the detergent dispenser. If the main wash
section is still closed, you can add items.
To add items
1. Lift up the door latch to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying
action to stop before opening the door.
2. Open the door. If the main wash detergent dispenser is still
closed, add the item.
3. Close the door, but do not latch it. Wait 30 seconds for the air
in the dishwasher to warm up. This reduces the amount of
moisture escaping from the vent when restarting a cycle.
4. Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher resumes
the cycle after about a 5-second pause.

Option Selections

You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you
change your mind, press the option again to turn the option off.
Select a different option if desired.
You can change an option anytime before the selected option
begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option
any time before drying begins.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle, unless you
select new options or press Cancel/Drain.
Hi-Temp Scour (on some models)
Select this high-temperature option for improved cleaning of
heavily soiled dishes. Selecting this option adds heat, water and
time to the wash cycle. Heating the water helps improve washing
results.
The Pots & Pans cycle, with the Hi-Temp Scour feature, is
recommended for baked-on soil.
NOTE: The Hi-Temp Scour feature is an option with Pots & Pans
and Heavy Wash.
Sani Rinse
Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse
to approximately 155°F (68°C) for 10 minutes. Sani Rinse adds
heat and time to the cycle. In the Heavy Wash cycle this high-
temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and glassware in
accordance with the NSF Protocol P153 Sanitization and
Cleaning Performance of Household Spray-Type Dishwashers.
NOTE: Sani Rinse is an option with the Heavy Wash cycle only.
Air Dry
Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy.
The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur.
For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as
plastics) may need towel drying.
NOTE: The dishwasher automatically heats the air in the
dishwasher during the "dry" portion of the cycle unless you
select Air Dry.
Delay Hours
Use Delay Hours to run your dishwasher at a later time or during
off-peak hours. You can add items to the load anytime during the
delay countdown. After adding items, close the door firmly until it
latches. The delay countdown will not continue if the door is not
latched.
