Function Description:
The Westinghouse dishwasher is designed for household use, offering various wash programs to cater to different soiling levels and dish types. It features an electronic control panel for program selection, delay start, and option adjustments. Key functions include:
- Washing: Multiple programs ranging from "Prewash" for items to be washed later, "Fast 30' 40°C" for lightly soiled items, "Eco 50°C" for normally soiled everyday items, "Daily 60°C" for normal to heavily soiled items, "TimeSave 50' 65°C" for faster washing of lightly to normally soiled items, "Delicate" for delicate items, "SensorWash Daily" for regular items (sensing soiling level), and "Heavy" for pots and other heavily soiled items.
- Drying: Most programs include a drying phase, with an "Extra Dry" option available for more thorough drying. Short programs typically do not include drying.

- Delay Start: Allows delaying the program start time for 1-24 hours.
- Child Lock: A safety feature to prevent accidental program changes or operation.
