Energy Options
Hot or Heat Dry Option
HOT or HEAT DRY option provides faster drying since the
heating element is on during the drying portion of the cycle.
The HOT or HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid
will give you excellent drying results. The energy to use
HOT or HEAT DRY costs pennies per cycle. You may turn
off the HOT or HEAT DRY option, however you will have
items in your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the
cycle.
Cool or Air Dry Option
COOL or AIR DRY option saves electricity since the heating
element is off during the drying portion of the 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 drying portion of cycle.
The drying option may be changed at any time during the
cycle and affects only the drying period.
Water Heating Delay
This dishwasher is equipped with a thermostat to ensure
that the water is heated to the proper temperature to deliver
optional cleaning and drying results. The knob/timer on the
dishwasher may pause at approximately the 7pm position.
The dishwasher is not "stuck" here, but is simply heating the
water to the proper temperature before advancing. If the
dishwasher holds this position on every cycle, then the
incoming (house) water temperature may be low. A
minimum water temperature of 120F is recommended to
avoid this water heating delay.
