Washing Special Items, OptionSelections, Heated Dry

OptionSelections

You can change an option anytime before the selected option begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option any time before drying begins.

No Heat Dry

Select this energy-saving option to dry without heat. No heat drying is useful when loads contain plastic dinnerware that may be sensitive to high temperatures.

The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur. For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

NOTE: The dishwasher automatically heats the air in the dishwasher during the “dry” portion of the cycle unless you select No Heat Dry.

Heated Dry

Select this option to dry dishes with heated air. For best drying results, use a liquid rinse aid and heated drying.

NOTE: Heated Dry is an option with all cycles except Rinse Only.

Hi-Temp Boost (on some models)

Select this option to add extra heat to the water in the Heavy wash or Normal wash cycles. This helps remove food soil.

Reset Options

Select this option to change an option setting. You can change option settings anytime during a cycle as long as the cycle has not passed the point where the option is used. For example, you can press No Heat Dry anytime before the cycle control knob reaches Dry.

1.Press RESET OPTIONS.

2.Press 1 or more options.

Delay Hours (on some models)

Use Delay Hours to run your dishwasher at a later time or during off-peak hours. You can add items to the load anytime during the delay countdown. After adding items, close the door firmly until it latches. The delay countdown will not continue if the door is not latched.

To delay the start

■Rinse Only and Normal wash cycles cannot be delayed.

Plate Warmer (on some models)

Use the Plate Warmer cycle to warm serving dishes or dinner plates.

NOTE: Use the heated drying option with the Plate Warmer.

1.Close and latch the door.

2.Press HEATED DRY or RESET OPTIONS (depending on your model).

3.Turn the cycle control knob to PLATE WARMER.

4.The cycle control knob will turn itself to OFF when the dishes are ready.

DryingSystem

During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.

IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.

Overfill ProtectionFloat

The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.
