Air Dry option
If the Air Dry option is selected, air in the
dishwasher is not heated during the “dry”
part of the cycle. Using this option helps
save energy, but dishes take longer to dry
(overnight) and some water spotting may
result. Some items (such as plastics) may
need
towel drying. For best drying results,
use a liquid rinse agent.
