ANTI-BACTERIA Heavy 8.8 gal., 105 min.
Medium 7.5 gal., 95 min.
Light 6.3 gal., 85 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.
