Wash Cycle Information/Sanitized - Siemens SL85A7 Use And Care Manual

Wash Cycle Information
NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a "Smart Control" that automatically adjust the cycle based on soil loads and
incoming water temperature. The "Smart Control" makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust
intermittently. The cycle times listed in the Use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and
will vary based on your actual conditions.
NOTE: If the unit is out of rinse agent, cycle time will automatically be extended by approximately 10 minutes.
NOTE: If Additional Drying Heat is selected, the cycle will be extended by approximately 20 minutes.
THE NSF SYMBOL
A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certified by the NSF International to meet very strict
requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are
explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certification is available at the
NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.
Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certified are shown in the chart above. When these cycles
are complete, the "Sanitized" indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate.
NOTE: If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher's heating time may be reduced and the "Sanitized" light or
symbol may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher Installation Manual has information on the recommended temperature for your
household hot water supply.
