* The cycle is NSF certied.
NSF INFORMATION
A dishwasher or dishwasher cycle that is certied 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 Certication is available at the NSF
website,
http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.
Your dishwasher is NSF certied. The dishwasher cycles
that are NSF certied are shown in the chart above. When
these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your
All Soil Levels 59 59 3.9 14.9
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 efcacy.
There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all
cycles on a certied machine have passed the sanitization
performance test.
