OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Heat Dry/Air Dry Use of 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. Favorite Cycle The FAVORITE CYCLE option allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button. Once Programmed, simply select FAVORITE CYCLE and then select START/ CANCEL. To Program the FAVORITE CYCLE: 1. Select your preferred cycle and options Sahara Dry TM When SAHARA DRYTM option is selected, the dishwasher extends drying time by approximately 20 minutes. The SAHARA DRYTM option can be used with all cycles except CHINA CRYSTAL, ENERGY SAVER and RINSE ONLY. For best drying performance, also apply an increased wash temperature by selecting HI-TEMP WASH or even better, the SANITIZE option. The energy required to use the SAHARA DRYTM option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the SAHARA DRYTM option; however you may have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle. Sanitize Option To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. When selected, the indicator light will come on and remain on until the end of cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 156oF (69oC). This option is available in POWER PLUS, NORMAL WASH and TOP RACK 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 SANITIZE a second time. The indicator light will turn off. 2. Press FAVORITE CYCLE for 3 seconds. The display will flash for 2 seconds indicating the FAVORITE CYCLE option has been programmed. To change the FAVORITE CYCLE option simply repeat steps one and two above. Delay Start The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher 1-24 hours. To start the DELAY START option, press DELAY START until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window. A light will come on indicating the delay has been set 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.
