Wash Cycle Information
NOTE: Cycle duration and water consumption depend largely upon household water temperature and wash load, factors over which the manufacturer has no control. Therefore, the times and quantities in this charts are approximate.
Note: If the unit is out of rinse agent the OPTIDRYTM feature will automatically extend the cycle time by approximately 10 minutes.
Note: If Additional Drying Heat is selected the cycle will be extended by approximately 20 minutes.
Note: If Pre Soak is selected, the cycle will be extended by approximately 15 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.
