Sanitize To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select SANITIZE option, by pressing SANITIZE pad. When selected, the light will come on and remain on after the cycle has completed. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155oF (68oC) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in Power Plus and Normal Wash 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 120oF (49oC). The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120oF (49oC). Sanitize pad flashes at the end of the cycle if the NSF requirements for sanitization are not reached. To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the SANITIZE pad. The SANITIZE light will turn off. The LED over the MY FAVORITE pad turns on indicating the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option has been programmed. To change the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option simply repeat steps one and two above.

Select your desired cycle and options, then press the DELAY TIME pad until the desired delay time displays in the status window. The LEDs of the selected cycle and options are illuminated. The status window displays the delay time and then displays 'Press Start'. To start the delay countdown, press START/ CANCEL pad and close door immediately.

The selected cycle starts when the countdown is completed. High HIGH option is selected, by pressing the HIGH pad. The dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140oF (60oC) and increases the temperature higher in the final rinse to help with the drying stage. This helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying performance by adding additional rinse aid and increasing the water temperature. Air Dry The AIR DRY option uses reduced temperature in the final rinse. While saving energy and time, you may have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle. Deselecting AIR DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. AIR DRY option is not available on all cycles. 5
