Hi-Temp Wash
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats the water in the main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C). This increase in
water temperature helps dishwasher detergent
remove food grease and soil from dishes more
effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH
option can be used with all cycles except
CHINA/CRYSTAL and RINSE HOLD.
When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, the light
above the pad will come on and remain on
until end of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP
WASH option, press the pad a second time.
The light above the pad will turn off.

Hi-Temp Rinse
A HI-TEMP RINSE of approximately 145°F
(63°C) will automatically be provided in the
final rinse on POTS PANS, HEAVY WASH,
NORMAL WASH and SHORT WASH (BOTH
RACKS), if HI-TEMP WASH option has been
selected. This higher temperature helps speed
drying and reduce spotting.
