Steam
Sani (on
some
models)
This option has several functions. Steam is introduced at the beginning of the cycle to help with
heavily soiled and/or dried-on, bakedon soils and for sanitization of dishware along with improving dry
performance by raising the water temperature in the final rinse. The cycle length will vary depending
on the temperature of your inlet water. This option MUST be selected PRIOR to starting the cycle.

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