Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance with
NSF International NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for
Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential
dishwashers are not intended for licensed food
establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have been
designed to meet the requirements of the NSF/ANSI
184 performance standard for soil removal and for
sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either
directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a NSF/ANSI
184 certified dishwasher meet the NSF/ANSI 184
performance standard for soil removal and for
sanitization efficacy.
At end of the cycle, the sanitized indicator or word
"sanitized", on some models, will glow. If your load
did not properly sanitize, the indicator will flash at the
end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is
interrupted, or if the water does not reach the
required temperature. The light goes off when you
open and close the door or press CANCEL.

off for an air dry.
NOTE: The fan may run for 1 hour after the cycle
ends for some cycle/option selections. The fan can
be stopped by opening the door or pressing any key
on the console.
