START/STOP BUTTON
Once you have selected the wash program and
temperature and drying options, press this button then
close the door to start the dishwasher. (Make sure the
door is securely closed.)
INTERRUPTING A PROGRAM TO
ADD AN ITEM
If you want to interrupt a program to add an item, open
the door slightly until the spray arms stop turning. You
can then open the door fully and place the item into the
dishwasher. Close the door securely. The program will
continue from where it was interrupted.
WARNING!
Be extremely careful when opening the door during
a program. The water is hot and you could get
scalded.
CHANGING OR STOPPING A
PROGRAM
If you decide to change the program after you have started
the machine, press the Start/Stop button for three
seconds. You will have to select the program and options
again when you are ready to restart the program. (Note:
If the program has already gone through the wash cycle,
you will have to add detergent.)
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.
