If the HEAT DRY Option is selected, air in the dishwasher is heated during the “dry” part of the cycle.

If the AIR DRY Option is selected, air in the dishwasher is not heated. Using this option helps save energy, but dishes take longer to dry (over- night] and some water spotting may result.

1.To be sure the added item is washed and rinsed, make sure the Cycle Control Knob has not passed NORMAL LIGHT.

2.Unlatch the doorto stop the cycle, but don’t open it until the spray arms stop spinning,

3.Open the door and add the dish.

Open the door long enough for steam to es- cape. Close the door to allow the Cycle Control Knob to complete its cycle.

4.Close the door. Do not latch il. Wait 30 sec- onds for air in the dishwasher to warm up.

This helps reduce the amount of moisture that can come from the vent when restart- ing the cycle.
