Dishware Drying
At the end of the cycle the dishwasher will stop and a period of condensation drying will
follow. After drying, the cycle is complete and:
•
t
he “Clean” light will illuminate (select models).
• the completion signal will sound (select models).
• the “Sanitized” light may appear. See section on Sanitization for more information.
• the countdown display will show “0” (select models).
NOTE: If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher’s heating time may be
reduced and the “Sanitized” light may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher Installation Manual
has information on the recommended temperature for your household hot water supply.
NOTE: To accelerate and enhance drying, open the dishwasher door, pull the top rack a few
inches out of the dishwasher, and prop the dishwasher door against the top rack.
“Sanitized” Light
When the “Sanitized” light “
” appears, it means that the dishware and kitchenware
that was just washed has been sanitized according to the requirements of the National
Sanitation Foundation (NSF). For more information on NSF certication, go to the Wash
Cycle Information section of this manual.
