DRYING OPTIONS
*HEATED DRYING —Depress this button and the drying
heater is energized to circulate heated air over the dishes
during the drying period for fast drying.
●ENERGY’SAVER—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 ifyou prop open the dishwash-
er door about 3inches at top after the cycle is complete.
Use of this option reduces the electrical energy used by
this model approximately 8%.
Estimated yearly savings, depending onyour local electric
rates, are as follows:
Electric Rate (per Kwh) $.05 $.08 $.11
