The page references in this Guide refer to the Use and Care Guide.

When using this program, you should set the temperature to economy and dry the dishes with economy drying. Quick Wash (85° F or 120° F) For lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after use.

Upper or Lower Basket Only This option lets you choose to wash in either the upper basket, lower basket, or both. The upper basket indicator light will glow when the upper basket only wash is activated. The lower basket indicator light will glow when the lower basket only wash is activated. Both upper and lower basket indicator lights will glow when the top and bottom basket wash is activated. 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. Delayed Start This button allows you to delay starting the dishwasher for five hours. Press this button then press Start. The button will glow when Delay Start is selected. To cancel Delay Start, hold down the Start/Stop button for three seconds. 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.
