Starting Your Dishwasher
This section teiis you how to start or stop your dishwasher. Refer to it for quick reference.
Starting a wash cycle
1. Load the dishwasher. See pages 7-11.
3. Add detergent. See page 12.
4. Add rinse agent, if needed. See page 13.
5. Ciose door firmiy until it latches.
6. Run hot water at the sink nearest the dish­
washer until water is hot. Turn
water off. (See page 21.)
2. Spin the spray arms. They should turn freely.7. Press a Cycle pad. If desired, press one
or more Option pads. (See
pages 14-16.) The indicator
above each pad will show red
when selected.
NOTE: More than one cycle
shares the same pad. The cycle control
knob determines which cycle operates.
8 . Turn the cycle control knob clockwise to
^ the desired cycle. You will feel
a definite “stop” at each cycle
mark. The dishwasher auto­
matically starts the cycle you
select.
NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear
the cycles start and stop as the control
knob passes each cycle mark. This is
normal and does not hurt the dishwasher.
If you prefer, you can set the cycle control
knob with the door unlatched.
Stopping the dishwasher
You can stop your dishwasher anytime during OR
a cycle. All you have to do is:
• Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling
or spraying action to stop before opening
the door all the way. Close the door to
continue the cycle.
’ Turn the cycle control knob slowly clock­
wise until you hear water draining. Let the
dishwasher drain completely. Then open
the door and turn the cycle control knob
to Off.
