Q For POTS & PANS, NORMAL WASH and LIGHT WASH cycles:

POTS NORMAL LIGHT

PANS WASH WASH

Use rinse aid agent to help prevent spotting. (See page 6.)

STEP 3. Select DRYING HEAT option. It must be ON for PLATE WARMER cycle, OFF for RINSE HOLD cycle. It can be ON or OFF, at your option (see below), for any of the wash cycles.

DRYING HEAT

ON OFF

ON: Turns the drying heater on for fast drying.

OFF: Turns the drying heater off to save energy. Dishes will dry naturally over a longer period such as overnight.

If you need your dishes sooner, open the dishwasher door after the cycle is complete to reduce the natural drying time.

Use of this option reduces the electrical energy used by this model approximately 8% for the NORMAL WASH cycle.

ON: The wash cycle will extend for approximately 9 minutes while the dishwasher automatically heats the water for good washing.

Note: The temperature of the entering water must beat least UO°F. for this option to work effectively and boost the water temperature to a good washing temperature of 140°F.

OFF: Select this option when the entering water temperature is 140°F. or higher.

See How to Test Water Temperature on page 6.

STEP 5. Select the cycle and start the dishwasher.

If your dishwasher drains into a food waste disposer, operate the disposer until it is empty before starting the dishwasher. (See Cycle Selection Hints on page 5.)

To obtain the benefits of a complete cycle, be careful that you do not turn the dial any further than necessary to start the dishwasher.
