WARNING
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning
on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical

This option raises the water temperature in the final rinse to sanitize your dishware but may
increase cycle time by 60 minutes. The cycle length will vary depending on the temperature of
your inlet water.
NOTE: This option 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 or Cycle Sanitized light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle. Utilizing this
option will modify the cycle to meet the requirements of Section 6, NSF 184 for soil removal and

placed in only one rack.
This option increases the time that the bottle jets are on and may add up to 23 minutes to the
cycle time. Use this to wash difficult to clean, dishwasher safe baby bottles, sport bottles, tall
coffee cups, etc. See use recommendations in the
