Drying Your Dishes
After your dishwasher has washed and rinsed your dishes, a period of condensation drying will follow.

•the “Sanitized” light will illuminate,
•the Cycle Completion Signal will sound.
You may then unload your dishwasher.

illuminates, it means that the wash cycle has met very strict requirements of time and temperature for certification as “Sanitized” by the National Sanitation Foundation. For more information on this certification, go to the Cycle Information section of this manual.
