Wash
Temp
Boost

(on some
models)

This option increases the temperature to help clean heavily soiled dishes and will increase the
cycle time by 20 to 50 minutes. Option may be turned

Off

during the wash cycle. This

option will also improve dry performance on the

cycle.

Temp Sani

(on some
models)

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 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 sanitization efficacy.
