NSF INFORMATION
A dishwasher or dishwasher cycle that is certified by the NSF international meets 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 below. When these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate. However, if your
household water supply is too hot your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced, and the Sanitized indicator may not illuminate.
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: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6 for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a certified machine have passed the sanitization performance test.
