Using your dishwasher
Using the control panel
Your dishwasher’s control panel is located on the top edge of the door. The door must be opened to make settings and
operate the dishwasher.
Cycles
Select a cycle based on the type of dishes to be washed and the level of soil on the dishes.
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. The timer will be delayed to allow for the water to heat for
the main wash of all cycles if the sensor detects the water is not hot enough. Below is water use and cycle times under
standard conditions.
Options
Options can add enhancements to the cycle selected.
• Heating Dry—Use to heat-dry your dishes.
• Sanitize Rinse—Use to sanitize your dishes and glassware. Maintains the water temperature at 158° F (70° C) max., and
is available with the Normal Wash, Auto, and Heavy cycles.
Controls and indicators

display. You can select from one to 24 hours delay. After you select the delay time you want, press START/Cancel once,
then close the door within four seconds. The delay begins to count down.
If you open the door while delay is running, press Delay for three seconds, then close the door within four seconds to
begin the cycle from that point.

You can add more dishes before the main wash cycle has started. To determine this, check the detergent dispenser in
the door. If the detergent dispenser is still closed, you can add more dishes. If it is open, you can add dishes to the
dishwasher if the dish quantity is small. If the quantity is large, restart the cycle.

Preparing and loading dishes
Preparing dishes for washing
• Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, and similar items.The continuous filtered wash system will
remove the remaining food particles.
• Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading.
• Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
• Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, and tomato-based products may cause discoloration of
stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time.Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it
is best to rinse off these types of foods.
• If the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal, be sure the disposal is completely empty before starting the
dishwasher.
Note: If the remaining time on the display suddenly increases or decreases by several minutes, it means that the Smart Sensor has checked
the soil level or the water needs to be heated to reach the required temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid injury open the door slowly and carefully. There is a possibility of hot steam from inside the dishwasher.
