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 Sanitize 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.
