~SELECI”THE CYCLE
SHOIIT WASH cyrle is for tahlewrart’ that is mil(ily soiled
with soils that have not dried on. Normally, you will not
require two detergent washes with this cycle.
HEATED DRY –Depress this button and the drying
heater is energized tiocirculate heated air over the dishes
for fast drying.
ENERGY SAVER DRY -- Depress 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 clishwasher door after the cycle is complete.
Use of this option reduces the electrical energy used by
this model approximately 890.
Estimated yearly savings, depending orIyour local electric
rates, are as follows:
Electric Rate (per Kwh) $.05 $.08 $.11
Estimated Yearly Savings $5.20 $8.32 $11.44
