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 
fi 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 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 satisfi 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

The DELAY START option allows you to 
automatically delay starting your dishwasher 
from 2-4-6 hours.
To activate delay start option, 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/CANCEL pad to start the delay 
option.  If the delay option is interrupted, the 
START/CANCEL pad will have to be pressed 
again to return to delay option.
To cancel the DELAY START option and 

to 

begin the selected cycle before the delay 
period is over, 

press and hold START/CANCEL 

pad for 3 seconds.

When 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.  If 
AIR DRY is not selected the heater will be 
activated during the drying phase of the 
selected wash cycle.

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 open.  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 and hold the START/CANCEL pad 
for 3 seconds.  The light above the cycle and 
option selected will go out, and the START/
CANCEL light will remain illuminated, the 
dishwasher will start a 90 second drain.  At the 
end of the drain, select the next desired cycle.

Status Indicator Lights

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

Whether heated or unheated dry is selected 
the DRYING light will come on during the 
drying portion of the cycle.

When the SANITIZE option is selected, the 
SANITIZED light will glow when the SANITIZE 
cycle is fi 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 DishSense

TM

 Technology checks the soil 

level on your dishes in the HEAVY WASH, 
NORMAL WASH and TOP RACK cycles.  
Depending on soil level, the sensor will 
determine if additional water fi lls are needed 
to clean the dishes or if water fi lls can be 
deleted.  Cycle time and water usage will 
vary based on the amount of soil on the 
dishes.  Cycle time will also vary based on 
the options selected and the incoming water 
temperature.
