What happens in each option
Water heating
The dishwasher will heat water during portions of
the Pots & Pans, Heavy Wash, Normal and Light
Wash Cycles to improve washability (see pages 6
and 7). The Cycle Control Knob does not move
while the water is heating. The DELAY/WATER
HEATING Signal Light will come on while the
water is heating.
The heating time is based on the temperature
of the water supply as it enters the dishwasher.
The cooler the water, the longer the heating time.
When the water temperature reaches 140°F (60°C),
the Cycle Control Knob will begin moving again.
If the water supply is already hot enough, the
dishwasher will not pause.
Lo-Energy Wash Option
The dishwasher will not heat the main wash water
as described above when the Lo-Energy Wash
Option is selected. This will reduce the amount of
electricity needed to run the dishwasher. However,
dishes may not wash as well. The final rinse will
still be heated. Lo-Energy Wash Option will not
work with the Pots & Pans Cycle.
Air Dry Option
Air in the dishwasher is automatically heated during
the “dry" portion of all cycles except Rinse & Hold.
If the Air Dry Option is selected, air in the
dishwasher is not heated. Using this option helps
save energy, but dishes take longer to dry
(overnight) and some spotting may result. Some
items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.
For best drying results, use a liquid rinse agent
such as Jet-Dry.®
