Wash Cycle Information
NOTE : Cycle duration and water consumption depend largely upon household water temperature and
wash load, factors over which the manufacturer has no control. Therefore, the times and quantities in this
charts are approximate.
THE NSF SYMBOL
A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certified by the NSF International to
meet very strict requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware
sanitization. These requirements are explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers.
More information on NSF Certification is available at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/
appliances.asp.
Your Thermador dishwasher is NSF certified. The Thermador dishwasher cycles that are NSF certified are
shown in the chart above. When these cycles are complete, the "Sanitized" indicator on your dishwasher
control panel will illuminate.
NOTE : If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher's heating time may be reduced and the
"Sanitized" light or symbol may not illuminate. Your Thermador Dishwasher Installation Manual has
information on the recommended temperature for your household hot water supply.
