How do I add items to the dishwasher after a cycle has already started?

You can add items anytime before the main wash starts by lifting up the door latch to stop the cycle and waiting for the spraying action to stop before opening the door. If the main wash detergent dispenser is still closed, you can add the item. Close the door, wait 30 seconds, then close and latch the door firmly and press START/RESUME to resume the cycle. (Page 15)
