Energy Options
Hi-Temp Wash Option
When HI-TEMP WASH ON option is selected,
the dishwasher heats the water in the main
wash to approximately 140°F (60°C). Wash
action will continue but timer will not advance
until proper temperature is reached. The hotter
water provided by this option helps activate
dishwasher detergent to clean food grease and
soil from dishes. HI-TEMP WASH ON option
can be used with any cycle except RINSE/
HOLD.
To turn off option, select HI-TEMP WASH OFF.
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select
the SANITIZE ON option. The water
temperature in the final rinse will be raised to
155°F (68°C) and will maintain that temperature
for 9 minutes. This option is available in Pots &
Pans, Heavy, Normal and Light cycles. The
cycle time will be extended until the proper
water temperature is reached. Washing action
will continue during the water heating delay. For
best results, the incoming water temperature
should be at least 120°F (49°C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there
is an interruption of the cycle, power failure, or if
the incoming water temperature is below 120°F
(49°C).
Heat Dry Option
HEAT DRY ON/POWER DRY ON option
provides faster drying since the heating element
is on during the drying portion of cycle.
HEAT DRY OFF/POWER DRY OFF option
saves electricity since the heating element is off
during the drying portion of cycle. To speed
drying process, open the door slightly after the
cycle is complete. Some water droplets may
remain on door and tub and in areas where
dishes touch silverware basket and rack.
With either option, you may see water vapor
coming from vent during drying portion of cycle.
The vent is closed during washing to hold
moisture and sound inside and then opens for
drying.
On models with POWER DRY, a fan circulates
air inside the dishwasher to speed drying.
The drying option may be changed at any time
during the cycle and affects only the drying
period.
