Christine, Each rinse cycle, the water temperature will get up to 156 degrees except in the quick wash which will only get to 140. Each of these cycles, power scrub plus, auto wash, regular wash and delicate/economy have the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification. This is an excerpt from the owners manual for the NSF certification. THE NSF SYMBOL A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certified by the NSF International to meet very strict requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certification is available at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/ appliances.asp Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certified are shown in the chart above. When these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate. NOTE: If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced and the “Sanitized” light or symbol may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher Installation Manual has information on the recommended temperature for your household hot water supply
