What happens in each option
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.@
