Operating the Dishwasher
Selecting the Proper Wash Cycle
Items with baked-on or hard, dried-on soiling will
require either Heavy Wash or possibly soaking
and hand-scouring.
The Normal Wash cycle will thoroughly clean
large loads having loosely attached normal
soiling. This is the correct cycle for most soil
loads.
The Rinse cycle will allow you to keep a small
load in your dishwasher until you have enough
items for a full load.
To avoid damage to delicate or heirloom
items do not wash them in your dishwasher.
For delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware,
or other special items, select Light Wash after
referring to the Materials section of this manual.
Hand-washing may be the best treatment of such
items.
More information on dishwasher cycles is in the
Wash Cycle Information section of this manual.

Open the dishwasher door far enough to expose
the control buttons.
Press the On/Off button.
Press the button for the desired wash cycle.
Shut the dishwasher door.
The dishwasher will start automatically and

Once you start the dishwasher, leave the
dishwasher door shut until it finishes the cycle.

Interrupting a Cycle

add or remove an item, to add detergent, etc.), it

the control buttons.
Press the On/Off button.

To resume the cycle, press the On/Off button and
