Drying System
The BRIVA™ in-sink wash system features FLASHDRY™ instant
drying. At the end of the cycle, the lid automatically pops open,
and vapor escapes. This results in fast, efficient drying of your
dishes.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the lid opening
during drying. Do not place anything on top of the lid when
running a cycle.
