Step 1
Touch "Start/Stop" on the dishwasher's control panel to cancel the delayed cycle and drain the washer.
Step 2
Turn on the hot water faucet near the dishwasher. Run the faucet to clear out cool water and wait for the water to warm up. A recently unused hot water faucet at first dispenses cool water, and can take a minute or two to provide hot water.
Step 3
Turn off the hot water and pull open the dishwasher door. Lift open the detergent cover and fill the main wash compartment with powdered dishwasher detergent. Add 2 teaspoons of detergent for a heavy or normal wash, 5 teaspoons for a heavy or normal wash with medium-hard water, or 8 teaspoons for hard water.
Step 4
Close the detergent cover and shut the dishwasher door. Push "Heavy Wash" or "Normal Wash" and press "Hi Temp" to wash the dishes in the hottest water possible.
Step 5
Tap "Start/Stop" to begin the cycle.
