For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent with this cycle. NOTE: This dishwasher is equipped with a CleanSensor™ with automatic temperature control; therefore, cycle length and time may vary depending on soil and temperature conditions. NOTE: Only the SANI WASH cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of Section 6, NSF 184 for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. 4 Options The light above the selected pad will be ON to indicate which ENHANCEMENT/EXTRA has been selected. STEAM For use with heavily soiled and/or dried-on, baked-on soils. This option MUST be selected PRIOR (on some models) to starting the cycle. The STEAM option adds 24 minutes to the cycle time. HEATED DRY When HEATED DRY is off, dishes will air dry. Light OFF HEATED DRY Light ON Turns the heater on for faster drying. This will extend the total cycle time between 8 and 38 minutes depending on the cycle selected. NOTE: HEATED DRY cannot be selected with RINSE ONLY cycle.

When the light stops flashing, the dishwasher can be reprogrammed and restarted. 5 START Close the dishwasher door and select the cycle and desired enhancements. Touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle. Water fill begins, and approximately 60 seconds later the wash action begins.

If you don't want to change any of the settings, simply touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle. If the door is closed, the indicator lights will turn off if the START/RESET pad is not selected within two minutes. To activate the display, open and close the door or press any pad.
