OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Option Selections (*available on select Models) *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 final rinse will be raised to 155oF (68oC) 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 120oF (49oC). *Delay Start 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/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 begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press and hold the START/CANCEL pad for 3 seconds. The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120oF (49oC). To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off. *Hi-Temp Wash Option When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140oF (60oC). 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 DRY OPTION 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, DRY OPTION, again for 3 seconds until the indicator light goes out. This increase in water temperature helps the dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in improved drying performance. HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles except RINSE ONLY. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically provided when the HEAVY WASH 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. Heat Dry The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the 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 finished. 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. To Cancel a Cycle NOTE 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, 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. If the dishwasher door is opened while the unit is running, the START/CANCEL pad must be pressed and the door shut immediately to return the unit to the selected cycle and option, this must happen within 10 minutes for the unit to continue the cycle. 5
