Option Selections
Hi Temp Wash Option
When HI TEMP WASH 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 option can be used
with any cycle except UPPER RACK and QUICK
RINSE.
When HI TEMP WASH option is selected, the light
above the pad will come on and remain on until end of

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 offthe 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.
