A:AnswerHello there - this is a wonderful question. This dishwasher offers some great features that helps heat the water, such as Wash TempBoost. Specifically, that feature increases the temperature to help clean heavily soiled dishes and will increase the cycle time by 20 to 50 minutes. More information on that option and more can be found on page 6 of the owner's manual: https://files.bbystatic.com/TTBtb8ruuyksmjQF09OcYA%3D%3D/User%2BGuide. It is important to note that the inlet water still needs to be at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit for proper wash performance. This can be achieved by running hot water through the faucet nearest the washer for about a minute before starting the wash. We hope this is insightful! Please let us know if you have any further questions - we're more than happy to help out. Be well, Kelsey@GEA
A:AnswerHi - It really depends on your skill level with hand tools, plumbing and wiring as to whether this is something you can do yourself or not. We would recommend you review the Installation Instructions for this model dishwasher so you can review the parts you will need and the steps required to complete the installation. We wish you all the best! Vikki@GEA
A:AnswerI did not self install. My unit was installed by pros sent by Best Buy . My recollection is that all necessary connections, etc. were automatically included in the package deal when I placed the order. Everything went very smooth and the unit is wonderful. It even makes its own hot water as our hot water heater broke down. I hope that this is helpful. WLR

A:AnswerHello, and thanks for your interest in this built-in dishwasher! Regarding sizing, the dimensions of this model are 33 3/8 H x 23 3/4 W x 24 D. The cabinet opening for this model must be at least 24” deep, 24” wide and approximately 34 ½” high from the floor to the underside of the countertop. The dishwasher needs to be installed so that the drain hose is no more than 16’ in length, in order to ensure proper drainage. When the dishwasher is installed in a corner, 2” of minimum clearance should be between the unit and any adjacent cabinet, wall or other appliance. 25 ½” is the minimum clearance for the front of the dishwasher to be opened fully. The GDF535PSRSS model features a great wash performance, multiple cycle options, large capacity and a quiet performance at only 55 dBA. If the size is right according to the above information, we are confident this model would be a great replacement dishwasher for you! We hope this information is helpful, and are happy to assist if you have any other questions or concerns. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerHello – Great question! Heated Dry is optional and doesn’t need to be used during the cycle. If Heated Dry is on, the light for it will be illuminated. Press Heated Dry Off in order to cancel the option and run your cycle without it. Let us know if we can be of additional assistance. -Gina@GEA
