Understanding the status indicators

Washing

The Washing		indicator glows at the start of
			the first fill of any cycle
	WASHING		(except Rinse Only) and
			remains on until the end
			of the main wash.

Add-A-Dish

(on some models)

The Add-A-Dish indicator glows as soon as the dishwasher starts and keeps glowing until the main wash portion of the cycle begins. You can add an

item while the indicator is on.

Water Heating

The Water Heating indicator glows when- ever water is heated during a cycle.

Rinsing

The Rinsing indicator glows during the last two rinses of all cycles.

RINSING

Drying

The Drying indicator glows during the drying portion of each

DRYING	cycle – even if you select
	Air Dry. It turns off at
	the end of the cycle. If

dishes are not as dry as you expected when using Air Dry, either allow longer drying times (overnight) or do not use Air Dry.

Clean

The Clean indicator glows at the end of a

	cycle to show that the
CLEAN	load is clean. All other
	indicators turn off. The
	Clean indicator glows until

you open the door or press Cancel/Drain or any other control pad.
