ENERGY OPTION SELECTIONS

Hi-Temp Wash
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main
wash to approximately 140°F (60°C).
This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food,
grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH
option can be used with all cycles except RINSE.
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the light surrounding the pad will come
on and remain on until end of cycle.
To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the pad a second time. The light
surrounding the pad will turn off.
Sanitize
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. When selected,
the light surrounding the pad will remain lit until the START/CANCEL pad is pressed
or the door is closed. This option heats the water temperature in the final rinse to
155°F (68°C) and maintains that temperature for 9 minutes. SANITIZE is available
in Auto Wash, Heavy Wash, Normal Wash and Short 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 light surrounding the pad will not illuminate at the end of the cycle if the NSF
requirements for sanitization are not reached. The sanitization criteria may not be
satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, a power failure occurs, or if the
incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a second time. The light surrouding
the pad will turn off.
