- 1). Open the dishwasher door. Place drying agent solution into the dispenser located inside the door. Using a rinse, drying agent helps the dishes dry quickly.
- 2). Place dishes in the dishwasher according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Separate the flatware in the flatware basket. Keep the flatware pieces separated, adding five to seven pieces to each basket. Add plates to the bottom rack. Keep the smallest plates at the center of the rack, moving toward larger plates and serving dishes along the perimeter of the rack. Only place one dish per slot. Add glasses and bowls to the top rack.
- 3). Locate the heated-dry option on the front panel of the dishwasher. Flip the switch or press the button to turn on heated dry. Most Kenmore dishwasher models allow you to save energy by disabling the heated dry. When only drying or warming dishes in the dishwasher, it is important for this setting to be enabled.
- 4). Close the dishwasher door. Analyze the settings on the front of your dishwasher. If your model features a dial at the front, carefully turn the dial to the drying setting. One some Kenmore models this may be called the "plate warming" setting. Do not allow the dial to sit on the start or rinse areas, as this can cause the dishwasher to fill with water. For dishwashers with a push-button area skip to the next step. Allow the drying cycle to completely finish before removing the dishes.
- 5). Locate the drying or plate warming button on the front button of your dishwasher. Press the button. Allow the drying cycle to completely finish before removing the dishes.
