Operating Instructions 

(continued)

The HEAT DRY ON option will provide faster

drying since the heating element is on during

the drying portion of cycle.
HEAT DRY OFF option saves electricity since

heating element is off during the drying

portion of cycle. To speed the 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 or rack.

Energy Options

With either option, you may see water vapor

coming from the vent during the drying

portion of the 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.
