  2. Press the “Start/Resume” button within 2 seconds. If you do not press Start within 2 seconds, then the display will turn off and you will need to start over and go back to
    step 1.

    b.     For Non-display models, “Tough or Cookware” light will turn on to indicate Rinse Aid Level.
  3. To go to a feature other than Rinse Aid Level, press the “Cycle” button or “Normal” button (depending on model) to move to the feature you would like to change (Sound Level, Light in Tub, Kosher Friendly, Factory Reset, Rinse Aid Level). See the table in Owner's Manual for what is shown on the display to indicate these features.
    NOTE: “Cycle” buttons differ between all models. Reference your unit's display and Owner's Manual for details.
