Using Sanitize
The sanitize wash modifier adjusts the wash program to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184 for
sanitization to occur.
While sanitize is running, the wash program is monitored to ensure that these conditions are met.
• Only programs utilizing the sanitize wash modifier are certified to meet the conditions required by
Section 6, NSF 184. Other wash programs may not reach the temperatures required for
sanitization to occur. See table on previous page for wash programs that have sanitize available
• For sanitization to occur, the temperature of the water needs to reach 700C/1580F. Check that all
items are ‘dishwasher safe’ before running the sanitize modifier.
• If the wash is interrupted or the water supply is turned off during the program, then the heating
conditions for sanitization may not be met. You may need to run the program again to ensure
sanitization of your dishes.
At the end of a wash program with sanitize, always check to make sure that sanitization has been successful.
DD*C Models:
If sanitization has been successful:
• The dishwasher will beep
• will show in the display
• The sanitize indicator will remain lit.
• After 30 seconds the display will turn off.
If sanitization has not been successful:
• An alert will sound

will be reduced if it can’t)

rack and stopped the spray arms from rotating.

cup racks so they do not become dislodged and
stop the spray arms from rotating.

horizontally or with sharp edges/points facing
down to avoid risk of injury.
Water ardness and Dishwashing
What is Water Hardness?
ard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. In soft water, this
concentration is low. Water hardness varies by geographical location.
How does Water Hardness Affect Dishwashing?
• ard water can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher. Over time, glassware washed in hard
water will become cloudy and dishes will become spotted or covered in a white film. Using very hard water can
cause dishwasher parts to fail over time.
• Naturally soft or softened water has no detrimental effects if used with the correct amount of detergent.
owever, excess detergent combined with hot, soft water may cause irreversible etching on glassware. Etching
first appears as a rainbow-coloured film and — if allowed to continue — can make glassware permanently
opaque.
What Can I Do to Minimise any Detrimental Effects?
Contact your local water company to find out about water hardness in your area.
• Some models (those with a letter ‘ ’ in the model name) have a built-in water softener.
• Models with water softener are not currently available in New Zealand and Australia.

If Your Home has Hard Water and Your Dishwasher has No Built-in Water Softener:
• Follow the detergent quantity recommendations on the following pages.
• If available, use a detergent with high phosphate content. Phosphate softens the water and this improves wash
results. If detergent with phosphate is not available, we recommend using multi-purpose tablets.
• Use rinse aid. We recommend you raise the rinse aid setting to 5 to help improve wash performance. See
quickstart guide for instructions.
• Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly, or whenever you notice a build-up of limescale deposits in your
dishwasher.
If your dishwasher has no built-in water softener and you live in a hard water area, we
recommend fitting a water softener to the household water supply. If the water hardness in
your home is above 250 ppm/14.6 gpg (US), a water softener has to be fitted to maintain
the performance of your dishwasher.
If Your Home has Naturally Soft or Softened Water:
• Avoid using too much detergent. Follow the quantity recommendations on the following pages.
• Ensure the drawer is not overloaded and water can reach all the dishes.
Wash Programs and Detergent Quantities
• Find out about water hardness in your home, then use the table below to determine how much powdered detergent
to use for each wash program. See also section ‘Water hardness and dishwashing’.
• For information on which program to use for your load, see your ‘Quick start guide’. The main powdered detergent
dispenser has markings to help you measure the correct quantities. See following section ‘Adding detergent’.
