Delay Hours (on some models)
Select this option to run your dishwasher at a later time or during
off-peak hours.
To delay the start
1. Close the door.
2. Select a wash cycle and option. Press the desired cycle. Turn
the Cycle Control knob clockwise to the number of hours you
want the dishwasher to delay the start.
The dishwasher starts the cycle in the selected number of
hours. You can add items while the time is counting down.
3. Close and latch the door. The Cycle Control knob will not
advance if the door is unlatched.
NOTES:
■ To cancel the delay, turn the Cycle Control knob to the
desired cycle.
■ Rinse & Hold and the Light Wash cycles (on some models)
cannot be delayed.
IMPORTANT:
■ Operate your dishwasher only when you are at home.
■ If your home is equipped with a water softener, do not start
the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener.
Drying System
During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at
the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries
your dishes.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent
during drying.
Overfill Protection Float
The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the
dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be
in place for the dishwasher to operate.
Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector
from moving up or down.
