These dishwashers utilize steam, gas, or electric heaters for heating the water. Heated water is provided to a dishwasher by means of steam, gas, or electric heating systems integral to the appliance, or by means not integral to the dishwasher that is provided at the installation site.

1.2 This Standard is not intended to be used to evaluate the gas-fired water heating portions of the system that incorporate water containment vessels operating above atmospheric pressure.

For dishwashers that incorporate a gas-fired water heater with a pressurized water containment vessel operating above atmospheric pressure, the water heater portion of the system is covered by the requirements of ANSI Z21.10.3/CSA 4.3.
