You can press an Option pad after the
dishwasher starts as long as the cycle is
not past the point that the option is used.
For example, you can press Air Dry any
time before the Drying indicator glows.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remem-
bers the options used and uses the same
options in the next wash cycle unless new
options are selected or the Cancel/Drain
pad is pressed.
POWER SCOUR

When POWER SCOUR is selected the dish-
washer heats the water during
several portions of the Normal,

140°F (60°C) during the main

SANI

glassware.
Air Dry
When Air Dry is selected, the air in the

dishes take longer to dry and
some spotting can occur. Some items (such
as plastics) may need towel drying. For best
drying, use a liquid rinse agent.
NOTE: The dishwasher automatically heats
the air in the dishwasher during the "dry"
portion of the cycle unless you select Air Dry.
