Energy Options
Hi-Temp Wash Option
When HI-TEMP WASH ON option is selected, the
dishwasher heats the water in the main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C). Wash action will
continue but timer will not advance until proper
temperature is reached. The hotter water provided
by this option helps activate dishwasher detergent
to clean food grease and soil from dishes. HI-
TEMP WASH ON option can be used with any
cycle except RINSE HOLD.
To turn off option, select HI-TEMP WASH OFF.
Hi-Temp Rinse Option (available
select models)
When HI-TEMP RINSE ON option is selected, the
dishwasher heats the water in the final rinse to
approximately 140°F (60°C). This will speed
drying and reduce spotting. HI-TEMP RINSE ON
option can be used with any cycle except RINSE
HOLD.
To turn off option, select HI-TEMP RINSE OFF.
Heat Dry Option
HEAT DRY ON option provides faster drying since
the heating element is on during the drying portion
of cycle.
HEAT DRY OFF option saves electricity since the
heating element is off during the drying portion of
cycle. To speed drying process, open the door
slightly after the cycle is complete. Some water
droplets may remain on door and tub and in areas
where dishes touch silverware basket and rack.
With either option, you may see water vapor
coming from vent during the washing and/or drying
portion of 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.
