Operating Instructions
Option Selections
Hi Temp Wash Option
When HI TEMP WASH option is selected the dishwasher
adds temperature, time, and water to the cycle. The
dishwasher heats the water in the main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C). The hotter water provided
by this option helps activate dishwasher detergent to clean
food grease and soil from dishes.
When HI TEMP WASH option is selected, the light above
the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. To
turn off the HI TEMP WASH option, press the pad a
second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
To turn off the HI TEMP option, press the pad a second
time. The light above the pad will turn off.
Air Dry Option
The unit defaults to heated dry when it is started with any
cycle selected. This drying uses a combination of heated
dry with rinse aid that achieves enhanced drying
performance. If you prefer to only have AIR DRY for
dishes, you will select AIR DRY and the unit will not
energize the heating element. This will reduce energy
consumption, but also reduces drying performance.
Sani Rinse
To Sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANI
RINSE option. When selected, the light above the pad will
come on and remain on until end of cycle. The water
temperature in teh final rinse will be raised to 155°F (68°C)
and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This
option is available in Heavy and Normal Wash cycles.
Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet
NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper water
temperature is reached. Washing action will continue
during the water heating delay. For best results, the
incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F
(49°C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an
interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming
water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
To turn off the SANI RINSE option, press the pad a second
time. The light above the pad will turn off.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to automatically
delay starting your dishwasher 2-4-6 hours.
To start the DELAY START option press the DELAY START
pad until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS
window. A light will come on indicating the delay start
hours and will remain on until cycle starts.
To chose the desired delay time, press the pad once for a 2
hour delay, twice for 4 hours and three times for 6 hours.
A light will come on indicating he delay start hours and
remain on until cycle starts.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle
before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL
pad.
Child Lock Controls
To prevent children from accidently changing the dish-
washer cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dish-
washer controls by pressing and releasing the AIR DRY
pad for 8 seconds while the door is latched. An indicator
light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate when the
controls are locked and no new selections can be made
until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the
AIR DRY pad until the indicator light goes out.
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press
START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will start a 90
second drain. At the end of the drain, select the desired
cycle.

The WASHING light comes on at the beginning of cycle
and remains on until the end of the final rinse.
The DRYING light indicates the drying portion of the cycle.
The light will come on when either drying option is se-
lected.
When SANI RINSE option is selected, SANITIZED light will
glow when the SANI RINSE cycle is finished. IF the
dishwasher did not properly sanitize the dishes, the light
will not come on. This can happen if the cycle is inter-
rupted. The light will remain on until the door is opened.
