CONTROLS AT A GLANCE (Continued)
Delay/Resume
The Delay/Resume option can be used to automatically start the cycle at a later time, such as during off-peak hours for reduced energy cost or to reduce daytime heat buildup in the home. TO SET UP A DELAY: 1. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load. 2. Press the Delay/Resume pad until the desired amount of delay time (1 to 9 hours) is selected. The delay time will begin counting down when the pad is released. 3. The Delay/Resume indicator light will remain lit until the delay time has counted down. 4. The cycle will automatically start as soon as the delay time expires.

NOTE:
� If Delay/Resume is chosen without selecting a cycle and/or options, the dishwasher will select the last cycle used. (It will not remember the Rinse Only cycle.) TO CANCEL A DELAY: Wait at least 2 seconds, then press the Delay/Resume pad again. The indicator light will go out and the cycle will start or resume immediately.

NOTE:
� This option does not lock the door, only the dishwasher controls. SETTING THE CONTROL LOCK: 1. Press the pad for three seconds.

2. An indicator light above the pad will illuminate when the controls are locked. TO CANCEL: 1. Press the pad for three seconds.

Control Lock Option
The control touchpads can be locked to prevent unwanted use. If this feature is activated between cycles, the dishwasher cannot be operated until the controls are unlocked. If desired, the controls can be locked after a cycle or delay has started.

2. The indicator light will go off.

NOTE:
� If a cycle or option pad is pressed after the controls have been locked, the indicator light above the Control Lock pad will flash five times.

OPERATING TIPS
Starting the Dishwasher
1. After loading the dishwasher and adding detergent, close the dishwasher by pressing the door until the latch clicks. 2. To start the dishwasher, firmly press the desired cycle and options pads. After a pause, the fill will begin. To prevent unplanned cycle or option changes, these selections are �locked in� after 1 minute. 3. The indicator lights for the selected cycle and options will glow. 4. To cancel an option, press the pad again. To cancel a cycle, press the Drain/Off pad.

NOTE:
� Extended interruption of the wash cycle is not recommended.

4. Close and latch the door. � If Delay/Resume was pushed, push it again to restart the dishwasher. 5. After five seconds, the cycle resumes automatically at the point of interruption.

Adding a Forgotten Item
For best cleaning, the forgotten item should be added early in the cycle. 1. Press the Delay/Resume pad or unlatch the door. 2. Wait for the water circulation to stop. 3. Open the door and add the item.

NOTE:
� If a cycle or option pad is pressed after the controls have been �locked in�, the indicator light above the Control Lock pad will flash five times.
