FAN DRY UNIT

Dishes are dried with a fan driven condensate system. This system is made up of
(refer to Figures 20, 21):
1. Fan Dry Motor
2. Air Intake
3. Condensate Duct
4. Condensate Vent
As the dishwasher completes its final drain, the fan dry motor forces saturated air
across cool baffles in the condensate duct, resulting in the removal of moisture
from the air. The cooler, drier air and condensed water is returned to the tub
through the condensate vent. The drying process continues until moisture is
removed from the air left in the tub, thus allowing the hot dishes to completely dry.
