Selecting cycle options
If desired, press one or more Option pad(s).
You can press an Option pad after the
dishwasher starts as long as the cycle has
not passed the point that the option is used.
For example, you can press Air Dry any time
before the cycle control knob reaches Dry.
Hi-Temp Wash
When Hi-Temp Wash is selected, the
dishwasher heats the water during
the main wash of the Light, Normal,
and Heavy cycles. Heating the
water helps improve washing
results. The Pots-N-Pans cycle
automatically uses Hi-Temp Wash.
NOTE: The cycle control knob does not
move while water is being heated. Once the
water reaches the proper temperature, the
cycle control knob will begin moving again.

Air Dry
When Air Dry is selected, the air in the
dishwasher is not heated during
the “dry” portion of a cycle. Using
Air Dry helps save energy, but
dishes take longer to dry and
some spotting can occur. Some
items (such as plastics) may need towel
drying. For best drying, use a liquid
rinse agent.
NOTE: The dishwasher automatically heats
the air in the dishwasher during the “dry”
portion of the cycle unless you select Air Dry.
For 900 Model Series:
• Always select the Air Dry option when
using the Rinse-Wash Later cycle.
For 915 Model Series:
• The Air Dry option is automatically selected
for the Rinse-Wash Later cycle.
Changing a cycle setting
You can change a cycle setting anytime
during any cycle.
1. Lift up the door latch to stop the cycle.
2. Turn the cycle control knob clockwise to
the desired cycle.
3. If desired, press one or more option pad(s).
4. Check the detergent dispensers. They
must be filled properly for the new cycle.
NOTE: Turning the cycle control knob
can cause the covered section of the
detergent dispenser to open and release
the detergent. Check the covered section
if setting the Normal, Heavy, or Pots-N-
Pans cycle.
Close the door firmly until it latches. The
dishwasher starts the new cycle.
