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.

removal and sanitization efficacy.
NOTE: NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

the dishwasher door to speed drying.
