The programs are described below: Heavy Wash (160° F or 130° F) For the heaviest soiled loads, such as pots, pans, casseroles, etc. Normal Wash (150° F or 130° F) For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled pans, use the Normal wash program with normal temperature and normal drying . To save more water and energy use economy temperature and economy drying. Quick (85° F or 120° F) For lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after use. This program is good for delicate items, such as fine china and crystal, but you should set the temperature to low and dry the dishes without heat. Rinse and hold To rinse dishes that you plan to wash later that day. Program Times The program times may not always be the same because of variations in the household hot water temperature. The dishwasher heats the water to the proper temperature for the program selected; so if the temperature of the water entering the dishwasher is too low, the dishwasher will run longer because it takes longer to heat the water. Raising your water heater setting could help to shorten the cycle times. OPTIONS To select an option, simply press the appropriate option button. The options are described below. Temperature The dishwasher has two temperature options for each wash program, as shown above. When this button is set on the normal temperature, the main wash is heated to the higher temperature for the selected program. If it is set to low (economy temperature), the main wash is heated to the lower temperature. The indicator light will glow only when the normal temperature is selected. Drying The dishwasher has two drying levels Economy and Normal. When you want to have the maximum drying result you activate the Normal option. That will increase the last rinse temperature to 160°F to heat the dishes and tank before the drying cycle starts. The indicator light will glow only when this option is activated. POWER BUTTON Use this button to turn the main power to the unit on and off. The location of the power button is illustrated above. START/STOP BUTTON Once you have selected the wash program and temperature and drying options, press this button to start the dishwasher. (Make sure the door is securely closed.) The indicator light around the button will glow progressively as the program goes through each cycle. When the program is complete, the lights will glow all the way around the button.
