door and tub and in areas where dishes touch
silverware basket or rack.
With either option, you may see water vapor
coming from the vent during the washing and/
or drying portion of the 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.
