DRYING HEAT ON. Turns the drying heater on for fast drying.

DRYING HEAT OFF. Turns the drying heater off to save energy. Dishes will dry naturally over a longer period such as overnight.

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 10% for the NORMAL WASH cycle.
