Status Indicator Lights
The console lights provide
information about the cycle
selection and current status. During
operation, while the door is closed,
these lights will remain on. At the
completion of the cycle, the clean
light will come on. The sanitization
light will also come on if that option
was selected and sanitization was
achieved during the wash cycle.
High Wash Temp Option
When High Wash Temp option
is selected, the dishwasher
heats water in the main wash to
approximately 140° F (60° C).
This increase in water temperature
helps the dishwasher detergent
remove food grease and soil from
dishes more eectively and aids
in drying. High Wash Temp option
is available on Heavy Wash, and
Normal Wash cycles. High Wash
Temp is automatically provided
when the Heavy Wash cycle is
selected.
When High Wash Temp option is
selected, the indicator light will
come on and remain on until end
of cycle. To turn o the High Wash
Temp option, Wash Temp until
the desired temperature option is
selected. The indicator light will
turn o.

Dry Options
The programmed cycles default to
t
he Heat temperature option, to
choose Max or Heat, press the
Dry pad.
Max
When Max
option is selected, the
dishwasher extends drying time
by approximately 20 minutes. The
Max 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 High Wash Temp or even
better, the Sanitize option.
The energy required to use the Max
option costs pennies per cycle.
You may choose not to select the
Max option; however you may have
items in your dish load that will not
be completely dry at the end of the
cycle.
Heat Dry
Us
e of the Heat Dry option,
especially in combination with use
of rinse agent, will enhance drying.
If Heat or Max Dry is not selected
the heater will be deactivated
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.

Mode
Normal: The programmed cycles
default to Normal option which
varies the pressure optimally for the
cycles.
Quiet & Gentle: With this option,
the water pressure in the spray arms
is lowered, reducing the noise level.

lightly soiled loads only.

The programmed cycles default to
the Normal temperature option, to
choose High or Sanitize press Wash
Temp pad.
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 156° F (69° C). This
option is available in Heavy Wash,
and Normal Wash 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
120° F (49° C).
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 120° F (49° C).
To turn o the Sanitize option,
press Wash Temp until the desired
temperature option is selected. The
