OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select
the SANITIZE option. When selected, the
indicator light will come on and remain on until
the end of cycle. The water temperature in the
fi nal rinse will be raised to 156 o F (69 o C). This
option is available in POWER PLUS, NORMAL
WASH and TOP RACK Cycles. Only these
sanitization cycles have been designed to meet
NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper
water temperature is reached.
Washing
action will continue during the water heating
delay. For best results, the incoming water
temperature should be at least 120
o F (49 o C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfi ed if there
is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if
the incoming water temperature is below 120
o F
(49 o C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press

Heat Dry/Air Dry
Use of the HEAT DRY option, especially in
combination with use of rinse agent, will
enhance drying. If AIR DRY is selected the

completely.
