once to begin the cycle. Water begins to fill the dishwasher, and approximately 60 seconds later the wash action
begins. Touching the START/RESET pad a second time will cancel the cycle and cause the water to drain out. This will
take approximately 2 minutes.

door is fully closed, the control panel lights will display the last settings you selected.
If you don't want to change any of the settings, simply touch the START/RESET pad once to begin the cycle.
If the door is closed, the indicator lights will turn off if the START/RESET pad is not pressed within two minutes.
