Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance 

with NSF International NSF/ANSI Standard 184 

for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential 

dishwashers are not intended for licensed food 

establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have 

been designed to meet the requirements of the 

NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil 

removal and for sanitization efficacy. There is 

no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all 

cycles on a NSF/ANSI 184 certified dishwasher 

meet the NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard 

for soil removal and for sanitization efficacy.
The Sani Rinse indicator glows at the end of the 

cycle if the Sani Rinse option was successfully 

completed. If the indicator does not activate, it  

is probably due to the cycle being interrupted.
