Heat Dry Option
HEAT DRY ON option provides faster drying since the heating element is on during the drying portion of cycle.
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will give you excellent drying results. The energy to use HEAT DRY costs pennies per cycle. You may turn off the HEAT DRY option, however you will have items in your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the cycle.
With either option, you may see water vapor coming from vent during the washing and/or drying portion of cycle. On some models, the vent is closed during washing to hold moisture and sound inside and then opens for drying.
The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying period.

When DELAY START option is selected, the Delay Start light will glow as timer counts down to begin cycle.
The WASHING LIGHT comes on at the beginning of the cycle and remains on until the end of the main wash.
CLEAN light comes on when a cycle is complete. To turn it off, turn dial slightly until light goes off.
Preparing and
Loading Dishes
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash system will remove remaining food particles.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils.
•Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
•Check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing items in question.
•If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.
