Energy Options
Hot or Heat Dry Option
HOT or HEAT DRY option provides faster drying since the heating element is on during the drying portion of the cycle.
The HOT or HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will give you excellent drying results. The energy to use HOT or HEAT DRY costs pennies per cycle. You may turn off the HOT or HEAT DRY option, however you will have items in your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the cycle.
Cool or Air Dry Option
COOL or AIR DRY option saves electricity since the heating element is off during the drying portion of the cycle. To speed drying process, open the door slightly after the cycle is complete.
Some water droplets may remain on door and tub and in areas where dishes touch silverware basket and rack.
With either option, you may see water vapor coming from vent during drying portion of cycle.
The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying period.
Water Heating Delay
This dishwasher is equipped with a thermostat to ensure that the water is heated to the proper temperature to deliver optional cleaning and drying results. The knob/timer on the dishwasher may pause at approximately the 7pm position. The dishwasher is not “stuck” here, but is simply heating the water to the proper temperature before advancing. If the dishwasher holds this position on every cycle, then the incoming (house) water temperature may be low. A minimum water temperature of 120F is recommended to avoid this water heating delay.
