If the Hi-Temp Wash option is
selected, water is heated in the
dishwasher during the main
wash of the Normal Wash and
Light Wash cycles to improve
washability. The Hi-Temp Wash option is
automatically selected for the Pots & Pans
cycle. See "Cycle selection chart" on

If the Air Dry option is selected,
air in the dishwasher is not
heated during the "dv 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.

The Cycle Control knob does not move
while the water is heating.

When the water temperature reaches
135°F (57"C), the Cycle Control knob will
begin moving again.
l
The heating time is based on the tempera-
ture of the water supply as it enters the
dishwasher. The cooler the water, the
longer the heating time.
If water temperature at the faucet is
below 120°F (49°C) have a qualified
person raise the water heater's thermostat
setting. See page 13.
. The dishwasher does not pause to heat
the water if the water entering the dish-
washer is already 135°F (57°C).
