Water Heat Option
When WATER HEAT option is selected, the
heating element in bottom of tub will raise the
main wash water temperature to approximately
140°F. Wash action will continue but timer will not
advance until this water temperature has been
reached. The hotter water provided by this option
helps activate dishwasher detergent to clean food
grease and soil from dishes. WATER HEAT option
can be used with any cycle except RINSE HOLD.
The WATER HEAT light will glow until the water
temperature reaches 140°F. To turn off option
press RESET OPTIONS.
No Heat Dry Option
NO HEAT DRY option saves electricity. The
heating element stays off during drying portion of
cycle. Additional drying time may be required, with
door open, to completely air dry dishes. Some
water droplets may remain on door and in areas
where dishes touch dishwasher basket or rack.
To turn NO HEAT DRY option off and select a
heated drying cycle, push the RESET OPTIONS
button. If NO HEAT DRY option is not selected, a
heated drying cycle is automatically provided. NO
HEAT DRY option must be selected with the
RINSE HOLD cycle.
The drying option may be changed at any time
during the cycle and affects only the drying period.
