Options Selections

Hi-Temp Wash

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in the main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C). This increase in
water temperature helps dishwasher detergent
remove food grease and soil from dishes more
effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH
option can be used with all cycles.

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
light above the pad will come on and remain
on until end of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP
WASH option, press the pad a second time.
The light above the pad will turn off.

Sanitize Option

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select
the SANITIZE option. When selected, the light
above the pad will come on and remain on
until end of cycle. The water temperature in
the final rinse will be raised to 150°F (66°C)
and will maintain that temperature for 9
minutes. This option is available in Pots Pans,
Normal and Light (Both Racks) cycles.

The cycle time will be extended until the
proper water temperature is reached. Washing
action will continue during the water heating
delay. For best results, the incoming water
temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C).

The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if
there is an interruption of the cycle, power
failure, or if the incoming water temperature is
below 120°F (49°C).

To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad
a second time. The light above the pad will
turn off.

No Heat Dry

NO HEAT DRY option saves electricity since
the heating element is off during drying
portion of cycle. When selected, the light
above the pad will come on and remain on
until end 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 and rack.
