OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using the Timer
The timer advances to complete the portion
of the cycle between the dial position and
OFF. Started at Heavy Wash it will run through
Heavy, Normal and Dry. Set at Normal Wash it
will run Normal and Dry, and so on.
• It is best to have the door unlatched while
setting the timer.
• The timer dial should always be advanced
in the clockwise direction.
• 4 positions are available for use, the OFF
position and the start positions for Heavy
Wash, Normal Wash and Drying.
• Other stops on the dial path are to allow
the unit functions to be quickly checked
during production but are of no practical
use for washing or drying dishes in the
home.
• The "Water Heating" text is to mark the
position where the dial may pause while
temperature is increased to make the wash
effective - it is not a location for starting
any cycle.
• The Heavy and Normal cycles start with a
drain, then a fi ll, then spraying - you may
not be able to hear that it has started at
fi rst.
Energy Options
The toggle switch provided to choose between
heat dry and air dry affects heater operation
but only during the drying portion of the cycle.
The selection may be made at any time prior
to or during the cycle. It affects only the
portion of the cycle's drying that follows the
selection. With either option, you may see
water vapor coming from the vent near the top
of the door - this is normal.

Heat Dry Option
Selecting the Heat Dry option will cause the
heating element to be on during the drying
portion of the cycle.
The Heat Dry option in combination with rinse
aid will improve drying results. The energy
to use Heat Dry is greater than if Air Dry is
selected but costs just pennies per cycle.
Turning off the Heat Dry option, will result in
more of the dish load being wet at the end of
the cycle.
Air Dry Option
Selecting the Air Dry option reduces energy
use and lowers costs by preventing the heating
element from coming on during the drying
portion of the cycle.
With this option drying may be improved by
using rinse aid and opening the door slightly
immediately after the cycle is complete.
