Heat Dry Option
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will
give you excellent drying results. The energy to use
HEAT DRY costs pennies per cycle. You may turn off
the HEAT DRY option, however you will have items in
your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the
cycle.
With either option, you may see water vapor coming
from vent during the drying portion of the cycle. Some
models have a vent that is closed during washing to hold
moisture and sound inside and then opens for drying.
To turn off the HEAT DRY option, press the pad a
second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
The drying option may be changed at any time during
the cycle and affects only the drying period.
