Introduction

The new Triton XL Dishwashers are packed with features to get your dishes cleaner, pots and pans spotless, and keep your kitchen quieter... and with a power usage of 477 kWhr/yr, they have an “EnergyStar” rating.

The Triton XL Dishwashers have 3 wash arms that provide complete coverage, eliminating prerinsing, soaking, and scrubbing. The ExtraCleanTM sensor incorporates a thermistor Auto Temp control and measures the water turbidity in 5 levels of cleanliness. The 100% triple-water filtration, with extra fine filter, eliminates recirculating

food particles. The PiranhaTM hard food disposer grinds and pulverizes any other food particles.

Triton XL Dishwashers run quieter thanks to our QuietPowerTM motor, PermaTuf® tub, and the QuietPower IV sound insulation, Thinstall.

The dual wattage Calrod® heater draws 835 W when it is wet to heat the water faster and, during the drying cycle, drops to 700 W for gentler drying.

The information on the following pages will help you service these new Triton XL Dishwashers effectively and efficiently.

ANTI-BACTERIA Heavy 10.0 gal., 93 min.

Medium 8.6 gal., 90 min.

Light 7.2 gal., 90 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.

NOTE: NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
