3 Selections

PDW8100–PDW8800 Series: Press the pad for the desired wash cycle.

PDW9200–PDW9800 Series: Use the Arrow Pads to scroll through the wash cycles.

The light above or next to the selected pad will be ON to indicate which WASH CYCLE has been selected.

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.
