5 SELECT THE CYCLE
c1
When selecting a cycle, you should consider the soil condition of the load. Then use the cycle most suited to
that soil condition.
9 NORMAL SOIL cycle is for most loads of everyday dishes, glasses and
cookware.
@ SHORT WASH cycle is for dishes that are mildly soiled with soils that have not dried on, Also everyday dishes that have had extra preparation before loading. Use this cycle to save water
and energy. 0 DRYING OPTIONS
HEATED DRYING–Press this button and the drying heater is turned on to provide heated air over the dishes for
fast drying. NO HEAT DRYING–Press this button
and the drying heater is disconnected
to save electrical energy and allow the dishes to dry by their own heat over
time. This option is best used when the dishes are washed at night and can remain in the dishwasher until the next morning. Natural drying time will
be reduced if you open the dishwasher
‘3
door after the cycle is complete. Use of this option reduces the
electrical energy used by this model
s
approximately 8%. Estimated yearly savings, depend-
ing on your local electrical rates, are as follows:
