Washing Special Items, Status Indicators

Status Indicators

Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status indicators.

Sensing Soak

Your dishwasher senses the soil level on the dishes. Soil level determines the length of some cycles, the amount of heat or water added, and the cycle needed for the load. Soaks help loosen soils on the dishes.

Sensing Soak glows during the sensing and soak parts of the cycle. Wash action continues while sensing occurs. Wash action pauses during a soak.

Add a Dish

After a cycle starts, you can add an item to your dishwasher while Add a Dish glows. After the light turns off, items added to the dishwasher may not be completely cleaned.

Water Heating

Water Heating glows, and the cycle progression pauses, whenever water is heated to a set temperature during a cycle.

Wash or rinse action continues as the water heats.

Clean

Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you open and close the door or press the Cancel pad.

Sanitized

If you select the SANI RINSE™ option, Sanitized glows when the SANI RINSE™ cycle is finished. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted or the incoming water temperature is too low. The light goes off when you open and close the door.

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.

Drying System

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.

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.
