Maytag MDB6949SDH User Instructions page 8

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.
At end of the cycle, the sanitized indicator (or word
"sanitized" on some models) will glow. If the load did
not properly sanitize, the indicator will flash at the
end of the cycle. This can happen if cycle is
interrupted or if the water does not reach the
required temperature. The light goes off when you
open and close the door or press CANCEL.
Dries dishes with heat. Use option with rinse aid to
provide best drying results. Plastic items are less
likely to deform when loaded in top rack. Turn option
off for an air dry.
CONTROL PURPOSE
