Heated Dry Switch

The heated dry switch is used to turn the heating
element ON or OFF. For faster drying, the switch
is set to ON, and the heating element will energize
following the rinse cycle. When the switch is set
to OFF, dishes dry naturally, and energy is saved.
The heated dry switch is located on the left-hand
side of the control panel.
