OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Option Selections Hi-Temp Wash Option Heat Dry/Air Dry When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140oF (60oC). 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. 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 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 120oF (49oC). 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. Delay Start The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher for either 2-4-6 hours. 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. To Cancel a Cycle 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 The WASHING light comes on at the beginning of the cycle and remains on until the end of the main wash. 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 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. 5
