Energy Options

Water Heat Option

When WATER HEATER option is selected, the heating element in bottom of tub will raise the main wash water temperature to approximately 140°F. Wash action will continue but timer will not advance until this water temperature has been reached. The hotter water provided by this option helps activate dishwasher detergent to clean food grease and soil from dishes. WATER HEAT option can be used with any cycle except RINSE/HOLD.

The WATER HEATING light will glow until the water temperature reaches 140°F. To turn off option press RESET OPTIONS.

4

Cool Dry Option

COOL DRY option saves electricity. The heating element stays off during drying portion of cycle. Additional drying time may be required, with door open, to completely air dry dishes. Some water droplets may remain on door and in areas where dishes touch dishwasher basket or rack.

To turn COOL DRY option off and select a heated drying cycle, push the RESET OPTIONS button. If COOL DRY option is not selected, a heated drying cycle is automatically provided. COOL DRY option must be selected with the RINSE/HOLD cycle.

The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying period.
