OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sanitize Option

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select 
SANITIZE option.  When selected, the light 
above the pad will come on and remain on until 
end of cycle.  The water temperature in the 
! nal rinse will be raised to 155

o

F (68

o

C) and will 

maintain that temperature for 9 minutes.  This 
option is available in Heavy and Normal Clean 
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

o

F (49

o

C).

The sanitize criteria may not be satis! ed if there 
is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if 
the incoming water temperature is below 120

o

(49

o

C).

To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad 
a second time.  The light above the pad will 
turn off.

Delay Start

Heat Dry/Air Dry

Use the HEAT DRY option, especially in 
combination with use of rinse agent, will 
enhance drying.  If AIR DRY is selected the 
heater will be de-activated during the drying 
phase of the selected wash cycle.  This will 
slightly lower the energy use but will increase 
the likelihood that the dishware will not dry 
completely.

Child Lock Controls

To prevent children from accidently changing 
the dishwasher cycle or starting the 
dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls 
by pressing and releasing the AIR DRY pad 
for 3 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 
same pad, AIR DRY, until the indicator light 
goes out.

Option Selections

Hi-Temp Wash Option 

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the 
dishwasher heats water in the main wash to 
approximately 140

o

F (60

o

C).

This increase in water temperature helps the 
dishwasher detergent remove food grease and 
soil from dishes more effectively and aids in 
drying.  HI-TEMP WASH option can be used 
with HEAVY and NORMAL CLEAN only.  HI-TEMP 
WASH is automatically provided when the 
HEAVY CLEAN cycle is selected.
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.

The DELAY START option allows you to 
automatically delay starting your dishwasher 
for either 2-4-6 hours.
To activate delay start option for 2-4-6 hour 
delay, 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 the delay start 
hours and will remain on until cycle starts.  
Press the START/PAUSE pad to start the delay 
option.  If the delay option is interrupted, the 
START/PAUSE pad will have to be pressed 
again to return to delay option.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin 
the cycle before the delay period is over, press 
the CANCEL pad.

You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle.  
Press the CANCEL pad and dishwasher will start 
a 90 second drain.  At the end of the drain, 
select the next desired cycle.

Status Indicator Lights

When the SANITIZE option is selected, the 
SANITIZED light will glow when the SANITIZE 
cycle is ! nished.  If the dishwasher did not 
properly sanitize the dishes, the light will not 
come on.  This can happen if the cycle is 
interrupted.  The light will remain on until the 
door is opened.

The CLEAN light will come on at the end of 
cycle and remain on until the door is opened.

The WASHING light comes on at the beginning 
of the cycle and remains on until the end of 
the main wash.
