loading and operating instructions carefully as explained
in your load items with heavy, DRIED-ON or BAKED.ON soils such M pots, pans and casseroles, open end down in the lower rack facing directly toward the lower wash arm. In this position the items will receive the most vigorous wash
action for maximum soil removal, severely

DRYING OPTIONS

heater is energized to circulate heated air over the dishes during the drying period for fast 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 ifyou prop openthe dishwash-
er door about 3 inches at top after the cycle is complete. Use of this option reduces the electrical energy used by
