Setting wash modifiers (DW60FC6 models only)

Along with setting the wash programme, you may select one of the following the additional options:

  • Extra dry: Increases the wash temperature and the length of the drying phase for improved drying performance. This is especially useful for plastic items.
  • Quick: Uses additional water and energy for a faster wash time, while maintaining wash performance.
  • Sanitize: Raises the water temperature during the rinse phase to sanitize dishes. Ideal for washing items such as baby bottles and preserving jars.

Using sanitize

The sanitize wash modifier adjusts the wash programme to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184 for sanitization to occur.
While sanitize is running, the wash programme is monitored to ensure that these conditions are met.

  • For sanitization to occur, the temperature of the water needs to reach 700°C. Check that all items in the dishwasher are dishwasher safe before running the sanitize modifier.
  • If the wash is interrupted or the water supply is turned off during the cycle, then the heating conditions for sanitization may not be met. You may need to run the cycle again to ensure sanitization of your dishes.
  • Only cycles utilising the sanitize wash modifier are designed 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

At the end of a wash programme with sanitize, always check the display to make sure that sanitization has been successful.

If sanitization has been successful:
  • The dishwasher will beep
  • Screen Shot 2017-06-30 at 11.25.25 AM.png will show in the display
  • The sanitize indicator will remain lit.
  • After 30 seconds the display will turn off.

  • An alert code will show in the display
  • The sanitize indicator will not be lit.
