Narrative:
Maintenance notified us that APU needed [to] be started due to dry ice in the lower forward cargo compartment just prior to receipt of final weight and balance and door closure. No statement was present on the dg manifest as required by the fom. Maintenance implied that we should have known this; only after them notifying us and our research of the fom and dg procedures did we find that the APU was to be started and the forward cargo air conditioning running while dry ice is present.dg manifest not properly annotated as required by the fom. Crew was not notified of the requirement until dry ice was already in place and dg manifest received. Not only does the dg manifest need to be properly annotated; the flight plan release should have a note alerting the crew that the forward cargo air conditioning must be running for dry ice presence. It would give us a heads up to expect dry ice in the forward compartment and it would ensure that its handling is properly annotated and supervised.
