increase cycle time by 60 minutes. The cycle length will vary depending on the temperature of 

your inlet water. 

NOTE:

 This option is monitored for sanitization requirements. If the cycle is interrupted during 

or after the main wash portion or if the incoming water temperature is so low that adequate 

water heating cannot be achieved, the sanitizing conditions may not be met. In these cases, 

the Sanitized or Cycle Sanitized light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle. Utilizing this 

option will modify the cycle to meet the requirements of Section 6, NSF 184 for soil removal and

very efficient fan may run for an additional 90 minutes after the cycle is complete to maximize 

drying performance. Fan operation will end if the door is opened during this 90 minute period.

placed in only one rack.

Bottle Jets

(on some 

models)

This option increases the time that the bottle jets are on and may add up to 23 minutes to the 

cycle time. Use this to wash difficult to clean, dishwasher safe baby bottles, sport bottles, tall
