Status Indicator Lights
The WASHING light comes on at the beginning of cycle
and remains on until the end of the final rinse.

remain on for 30 seconds after the door is opened. If the
dishwasher did not properly sanitize the dishes, the light

Hi Ternp 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.
This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher
detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more
effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH option can
be used with all cycles except CHINA GENTLE (some
models) and QUICK RINSE. HI-TEMP WASH is
automatically provided with HEAVY WASH cycle.
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.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to automatically
delay starting your dishwasher from 1-24 hours.
On models with 1-24 hour delay, 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 cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle
before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL
pad.
Option Selections
Air Dry
The unit defaults to heated dry when it is started with any
cycle selected. This drying uses a combination of the
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 reduce drying perfomance.
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.
