Sani (on
some
models)
This option has several functions. Steam is introduced at the beginning of the cycle to help with

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 light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle. Utilizing this option will modify the cycle
