When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats the water in the main wash
to approximately 140°F (60°C). Wash action
will continue but timer will not advance until
proper temperature is reached. The hotter
water provided by this option helps activate
dishwasher detergents to clean food grease
and soil from dishes. HI-TEMP WASH option
can be used with any cycle except
RINSE/HOLD.
To turn off option, press RESET OPTIONS
button.
Selecting the COOL DRY option will save
electricity since the heating element is off
during the drying portion of the cycle. To
speed drying process, open the door slightly
after the cycle is complete. Some water
droplets may remain on door and tub and in
areas where dishes touch silverware basket
and rack.
To turn off option and select heat dry, press
RESET OPTIONS button.  This provides faster
drying since the heating element is on during
the drying portion of the cycle.
With either option, you may see water vapor
coming from vent during drying portion of
cycle. The vent is closed during washing to
hold moisture and sound inside and then
opens for drying.
The drying option may be changed at any time
during the cycle and affects only the drying
period.
