Canceling a Cycle
1. Open the door slightly to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying 
action to stop before completely opening the door. 
2. Press and hold Cancel/Drain button once. The Cancel/Drain 
light will light up.
3. Close the door and the dishwasher starts a drain cycle (if water 
remains in bottom of dishwasher). Let the dishwasher drain 
completely. The Cancel/Drain light turns off after 2 minutes.
Changing a Cycle After Dishwasher Is Started
You can interrupt a cycle and restart your dishwasher from the 
beginning using the following procedure:
1. Open the door slightly to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying 
action to stop, then open the door completely. 
2. Check that detergent dispenser cover is still closed. If cover is 
open, you will need to refill the detergent dispenser before 
restarting your new cycle.
3. Press and hold CANCEL/DRAIN twice to reset the control. 
4. Select new cycles and options.
5. Press START/RESUME.
Adding a Dish After Dishwasher Is Started
1. Check if Add a Dish indicator is lit. (Available on some models. 
Otherwise, proceed to Step 2.)
2. Open the door slightly to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying 
action to stop, and then open the door completely. 
3. Check whether the detergent dispenser cover is still closed. If 
it is open, the wash cycle has already started and adding a 
dish is not recommended.
4. If detergent has not yet been used (detergent dispenser cover 
is closed), you may add a dish. 
5. Press START/RESUME.
CONTROLS AND CYCLE STATUS

PURPOSE
COMMENTS
The Cycle Status Indicator 
Lights are used to follow the 
progress of the dishwasher 
cycle. Located on the front 
of the dishwasher for front 
control models, and located 
on the top of the door for 
hidden control models.
Clean indicator glows when a cycle is finished. 
If you select the Sani Rinse option, when the Sani Rinse cycle is finished, 
the Sanitized indicator glows. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize 
your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if 
the cycle is interrupted, or the water could not be heated to the required 
temperature. 
The Clean and Sanitized lights go off when you open and close the door or 
press and hold CANCEL. 
The Front Indicator Light 
or Single Exterior Light (A) 
shows progress of your 
dishwasher cycle by color 
(for hidden control 
models only).
The light will be blue if the dishwasher is washing or rinsing. The light will 
be red when the dishwasher is drying. The light will be green to indicate 
that the cycle is complete. If the Front Indicator Light is blinking, see 
“Troubleshooting” section.
The Cycle Status Display is 
used to follow the progress 
of the dishwasher cycle, and 
to show other information. 
(Available on some models 
instead of Cycle Status 
Indicator Lights)
The indicators will inform you if you are able to add a dish to the cycle after 
it has started. It will also inform you if the dishwasher is washing, rinsing, 
drying, complete, and/or sanitized. They will show whether the control is 
locked and/or the delay option is selected. A series of bars will count down 
the duration of the cycle remaining from left to right. Each bar equals 
approximately 24 minutes of cycle length. The bars will also count down 
the delay feature from left to right, and the delay indicator will be activated.
