Control Lock

Use the Control Lock to prevent unintended use of the dishwasher. You can also use the control lock feature to prevent unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle.

Press and hold

for 4 seconds. Control Lock glows.

If you press any pad while your dishwasher control is locked, the light flashes 3 times.

To turn off the Lock

Press and hold ENERGY SAVER™ Dry control for 4 seconds. The light turns off.

IMPORTANT:

■Operate your dishwasher only when you are at home.

■If your home is equipped with a water softener, do not start the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener.

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.

Vent System

The integrated vent, located on the top left side of the door, provides a pressure relief to reduce the door-closing force.

Status Indicators

Clean

CLEAN glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns on when

you open the door. The light turns off when you close the door or

press CANCEL.

The vent closes during the cycle to lock sound in the dishwasher. After the cycle has finished, the vent remains closed until the dishes have cooled down. Between cycles, the vent stays open for airflow, reducing the buildup of odors.

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.
