Water heating

The dishwasher will heat water during portions of the Pots & Pans, Heavy Wash, Normal and Light Wash Cycles to improve washability (see pages

6 and 7). The Cycle Control Knob does not move while the water is heating. The heating time is based on the temperature of the water supply as it enters the dishwasher. The cooler the water, the longer the heating time. When the water tempera- ture reaches 140°F (60°C), the Cycle Control Knob will begin moving again. If the water supply is already hot enough, the dishwasher will not pause.

Lo-Energy Option

The dishwasher will not heat the wash water as described above when the Lo-Energy Option is selected. This will reduce the amount of electricity needed to run the dishwasher, but loads may not wash as well if the water supply temperature is too low.

Hi-Tbmp Rinse Option

When this option is selected, water for the final rinse is heated to 140°F (60°C). The DELAY/ WATER HEATING Signal Light will come on while the water is heating. Use this option to help dry dishes faster and reduce spotting. If the

water is already hot enough, the cycle continues without delay.

Air Dry Option

Air in the dishwasher is automatically heated during the “dry” part of all cycles except Rinse & Hold.

If the Air Dry Option is selected, air in the dish- washer is not heated. Using this option helps save energy, but dishes take longer to dry (overnight) and some spotting may result. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

For best drying results, use a liquid rinse agent such as Jet-Dry.@
