ENERGY SAVER (no heat

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 79?0 for the NORMAL WASH cycle.

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 next page.)
