HEATED ^NATURAL

DRY • DRY

i ENERGY SAVER

HEATED DRY. Turns drying heater on for fast drying. Adds 33 minutes to wash cycle time. Available on all wash

cycles except Rinse & Hold. The

HEATED DRY light will light up during the HEATED DRY cycle.

NATURAL DRY (no-heat drying).

Saves energy because the drying

cycle does not operate. Dishes dry

naturally over a longer period, such

as overnight. Available on all wash

cycles. The HEATED DRY light will

light up during the NATURAL DRY

cycle.

If you need your dishes sooner, open the dishwasher door after the cycle is complete to reduce the natural drying time.

Use of this option reduces the electrical energy used by this model

approximately 9.2% for the Normal

Cycle.

You Will See Water Vapor:

• Through the vent next to the door latch when water is pumped out

• Through the vent next to the door latch during drying operations

Clicking Sounds You May Hear:

• Soft food dispenser shredding action

• Drain valve opening to pump water out

• Timer control as cycle progresses

• Detergent cup opening

□ Select the cycle option to start dishwasher.

If your dishwasher drains into a food waste disposer, operate the disposer until it is empty before starting the dishwasher.

Push the Cycle Selector Button all the way in to start the dishwasher.

POTS & PANS—For items such as pots, pans and casserole dishes with dried-on or baked-on soils. Everyday dishes may be included.

It is important to follow the loading

instructions on pages 7-9.

NORMAL WASH—For loads of everyday dishes, glasses and cookware with medium soils. Designed to yield high performance on normal

loads.

LIGHT WASH—For most loads of

everyday dishes, with light soils or

soils that have not dried on. It saves

hot water over the higher performance

cycles.

CHINA & CRYSTAL—For lightly-soiled

china and crystal. This cycle is similar

to Light Wash Cycle except the wash

action is softened by pumping air

along with the water to protect your

delicate items. Pre-rinse before

loading. Be sure you have followed

the loading instructions on pages 7-9.

RINSE & HOLD—For rinsing partial loads which will be washed later. Do

not use detergent.

CANCEL & DRAIN—For cancelling operation after dishwasher has started. As the timer rapidly advances to a drain period and then to OFF;

• Water Temp Boost and Heated Dry indicator lights glow. This is normal.

• Detergent and rinse agent are released into the tub. If you do not plan to run another cycle immediately, use Rinse & Hold to rinse them off.

CYCLE INDICATOR DISPLAY—Shows where the dishwasher is in the cycle. The indicator will pause during the main detergent wash portion of the cycles.

WATER TEMP BOOST LIGHT Your dishwasher has a system to

assure proper water temperature for good cleaning. During the wash cycle, a heater is energized to maintain hot water. If the water is not at the proper temperature at the end of the wash cycle, washing and water heating will continue until the correct water temperature is reached, or up to 16

additional minutes in the main wash

cycle. During the temperature boost

period, the indicator light glows. HEATED DRY LIGHT

Light glows during HEATED DRY cycle and during the NATURAL DRY cycle.
