Wash System, Sensor System | KitchenAid LAVE-VAISSELLE specification

Wash System

The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results. Four levels of filtration and a soil collector system filter the wash water and prevent food particles from redepositing on the clean dishes.

■The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra-Fine filter, trapping food particles.

■Two water jets, located under the spray arm, remove the food particles from the Ultra-Fine filter.

■A coarse strainer prevents bones, pits, and other large objects from entering the pump system.

NOTE: Periodically check the coarse strainer and remove any objects on the strainer.

Sensor System

This dishwasher is equipped with an optical sensor wash that detects water temperature, soil and detergent amount. Wash cycles are adjusted based on what is sensed.

The dishwasher “senses” wash water quality during a series of pauses in the wash cycle. The sensor monitors water temperature and the amount of soil and detergent appearing in the wash water. It automatically adjusts the wash cycle for the best wash. Lightly soiled dishes will use less water and energy. Heavily soiled dishes will get more water, increased temperature and wash time. This dishwasher will automatically adjust the sensor approximately once a year to your water quality.

IMPORTANT: The very first wash cycle after installation in your home will be adjusted to include an additional 2 rinses. This cycle must not be interrupted for proper sensor adjustment. If this adjustment cycle is canceled or stopped before the Clean light comes on at the end of the cycle, the next wash cycle will repeat this sensor adjustment.

Sound System

The WHISPER QUIET® sound insulation system helps to maintain a quiet home environment during dishwasher operation.

NOTE: If you do not load dishes properly, the quiet operation of your dishwasher could be affected. (See “Loading” in the Consumer Reference Guide.)

Drying System

NOTE: Your dishwasher has one of the vent systems shown below.

Located on the front left side of the door

During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.

IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.

Located on the top left side of the door

The active vent reduces the filling and washing sounds from your dishwasher. The vent closes, after the cycle starts, to lock in sound. After the cycle finishes and the dishes cool for several hours, the vent opens. This prevents any water vapor from collecting on the countertop. Between cycles, the vent stays open for airflow, reducing the buildup of odors.

NOTE: There is a slight noise when the vent closes or opens. This is normal.

Overfill Protection Float

The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.
