Energy Options
Hot Dry Option
HOT DRY option provides faster drying since
the heating element is on during the drying
portion of the cycle.
Cool
Dry Option
COOL DRY option saves electricity since the
heating element is off during the drying portion
of the 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.
The drying option may be changed at any time
during the cycle and affects only the drying
period.
