Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and
glassware, select the Sanitize
option. When selected, the indicator
light will come on and remain on
until the end of cycle. The water
temperature in the final rinse will
be raised to 156° F (69° C). This
option is available in Heavy Wash,
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
120° F (49° C).
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 120° F (49° C).
To turn off the Sanitize option,
press Wash Temp until the desired
temperature option is selected. The
indicator light will turn off.

High Wash Temp Option
When High Wash Temp option
is selected, the dishwasher
heats water in the main wash to
approximately 140° F (60° C).
This increase in water temperature
helps the dishwasher detergent
remove food grease and soil from
dishes more effectively and aids
in drying. High Wash Temp option
is available on Heavy Wash, and
Normal Wash cycles. High Wash
Temp is automatically provided
when the Heavy Wash cycle is
selected.
When High Wash Temp option is
selected, the indicator light will
come on and remain on until end
of cycle. To turn off the High Wash
Temp option, Wash Temp until
the desired temperature option is
selected. The indicator light will
turn off.
Dry Options
The programmed cycles default to
the Heat temperature option, to
choose MaxBoost
press the Dry pad.
MaxBoost
TM
When MaxBoost
TM
selected, the dishwasher extends
drying time by approximately
20 minutes. The MaxBoost
option can be used with all cycles
except China Crystal, Energy
Saver and Rinse Only. For best
drying performance, also apply an
increased wash temperature by
selecting High Wash Temp or even
better, the Sanitize option.
The energy required to use the
MaxBoost
option costs pennies
TM
per cycle. You may choose not
to select the MaxBoost
however you may have items in your
dish load that will not be completely
dry at the end of the cycle.
Heat Dry/Air Dry
Use of the Heat Dry option,
especially in combination with use of
rinse agent, will enhance drying. If
Air Dry is selected the heater will be
deactivated during the drying phase
of the selected wash cycle. This will
slightly lower the energy use but
will increase the likelihood that the
dishware will not dry completely.
