TO SAVE ELECTRIC ENERGY k
The dishwasher dries with the door closed. If you wish to
save electric energy, manually advance the control dial to the OFF position a~certh~elast rinse. This eliminates the energy used by the electric drying heater and allows the dishes to dry by theirownheat over time.This is best used
whenthe dishes arewashed at night and can remaininthe
dishwasher until the next morning. Natural drying time will be reduced if you open the dishwasher door after the cycle is completed.
4, Close door and push latch to right. Cycle will automat-
ically resume operation.
NOTE: Soiled dishes should not be added after the
main detergent wash portion of the cycle.
Interrupt the wash and rinse periods as seldom as pos-.
sible. Water temperature is reduced, decreasing wash-
ability, when door is opened on any dishwasher.
