How to Change Kosher Mode in Your KitchenAid Dishwasher

Kosher Consumer Friendly Mode

When turned on, will disable all of the buttons on the dishwasher except for the cancel key, and disable the light inside the tub (if equipped) for a time period of 75 hours. If this mode is turned on during a cycle, then the status lights at the end of the cycle will not turn off when the door is opened and then re-closed. To exit this mode, press the “Cancel” button, or wait 75 hours. Follow the below instructions to enter into the menu to change your current settings.

  1. Press and hold the “Hi Temp” button for 5 seconds until “Hi Temp” and “Dry” lights turn on.
  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.
