Energy Options
Hot Dry Option
HOT DRY option provides faster drying since the
heating element is on during the drying portion of
the cycle.
The HOT DRY option in combination with rinse aid
will give you excellent drying results. The energy
to use HOT DRY costs pennies per cycle. You
may turn off the HOT DRY option, however you will
have items in your dish load that will not be dry at
the end of the cycle.
Cool Dry Option
COOL DRY option saves electricity since the
heating element is off during the drying portion of
the cycle. To speed 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.
With either option, you may see water vapor
coming from vent during drying portion of cycle.
The drying option may be changed at any time
during the cycle and affects only the drying period.

serving hot foods.
