Medium 7.3 gal., 78 min.
Light 6.1 gal., 75 min.
This cycle raises the water temperature in the final rinse to sanitize your dishware. The cycle
length will vary depending on the temperature of your inlet water.
NOTE: The Anti-Bacteria cycle is monitored for sanitization requirements. If the cycle is
interrupted during or after the main wash portion or if the incoming water temperature is so low
that adequate water heating cannot be achieved, the sanitizing conditions may not be met. In
these cases, the sanitized light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle.
NOTE: NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

Everyday dishes are safe to be used in this cycle.
5.0–8.8 gal., 47–90 min.
This cycle is for medium/heavily soiled dishes and glassware.
Cycle time and water usage are approximate values. Results will depend on

pressure and amount of soil in the wash water.
