Changing a Program

Changing a Program After the Unit has Started
The dishwasher is programmed to stop operating if the door is opened
during a cycle. To change a program or option after starting the
machine, open the door slightly to let the spray arms stop rotating and
avoid getting sprayed with water. Press and hold "START" for four
seconds to cancel the current selection, then press the touchpad(s) for
your desired selection.
Press "START" again and close the door. The drain pump will run to
remove any dirty water from the dishwasher before starting the newly
selected cycle. Check to make sure there is still detergent in the
detergent dispenser.
Opening the Door after Cycle has Started
If the door is opened after the cycle has started, the "START" button
will flash to indicate that the dishwasher is in Standby Mode. Press the
"START" button and close the door securely within 4 seconds to
restart the cycle.
