Operating the Dishwasher
(continued)
Dishware Drying
At the end of the cycle the dishwasher will stop
and a period of condensation drying will follow.
After 12 - 15 minutes of drying:
• the cycle countdown display will read “0”.
• the “Sanitized” light may appear. See section
on Sanitization for more information.
NOTE:
If your household water supply is too hot,
your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced
and the “Sanitized” light may not illuminate. Your
Bosch Dishwasher Installation Manual has
information on the recommended temperature for
your household hot water supply.
