Roper RUD1000 User Manual

Select this option to run your dishwasher at a later time or during 
off-peak hours. 

Close the door.

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.

Close and latch the door. The Cycle Control knob will not 
advance if the door is unlatched.

■

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. 

■

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.

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.

 The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent 

during drying.

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.

If you have doubts about washing a particular item, check with 
the manufacturer to see if it is dishwasher safe.
