1
Open the dishwasher door slightly so you can access the top or front control buttons.
2
Locate the 'START' button (which also has 'Reset 3 Sec' printed below it).
3
Press and hold down the 'START' button for 3 to 5 full seconds until the display flashes '0:01' (or active cycle LED turns off).
4
Close the door completely. The drain pump will automatically run for 60 seconds to evacuate any dirty wash water inside the tub.
5
When the timer reaches '0:00' and beeps, open the door. The dishwasher is now completely reset and ready for a fresh cycle.
Safety Warning: Hot water or steam may vent when opening the door mid-cycle.
