DRYING HEAT ON: Turns the
drying heater on for fast drying.
DRYING HEAT OFF: Turns the
drying heater off to save energy.
Dishes will dry naturally over a
longer period such as overnight.
If you need your dishes sooner,
open the dishwasher door after the
cycle is complete to reduce the
natural drying time.
Use of this option reduces the
electrical energy used by this
model approximately
10~o
for the
NORMAL WASH cycle.
STEP 4. WATER HEAT Option.

ON: The wash cycle will be
extended for 9 minutes while the
dishwasher heats the water for
good washing and drying. The
entering water must be at least
120°F.
OFF: The entering water must be
at least
140°F.
To test water
temperature, see page 6.

If your dishwasher drains into a

disposer until it is empty before
starting the dishwasher.
To obtain the benefits of a complete
cycle, be careful that you
do not
turn the dial any further than
