"The Normal Wash program is used for energy testing and should be used for normal or lightly soiled loads. When washing dishes that are more heavily soiled, use a longer program with higher temperatures such as Heavy Wash or Pots and Pans." Delicate Wash (105° F or 120° F) For delicate items, such as fine china and crystal, that are washed immediately after use. When using this program, you should set the temperature to low and dry the dishes without heat. Quick Wash (85° F or 120° F) For lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after use. This program can also be used for delicate items, 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. OPTIONS To select an option, simply press the appropriate option button. The options are described below. 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 high temperature, the main wash is heated to the higher temperature for the selected program. If it is set to low, the main wash is heated to the lower temperature. The indicator light will glow only when the higher 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 This option speeds up the drying process by raising the temperature in the final rinse to 160° F to heat the dishes and tank before the drying cycle begins.
