NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from those shown here.

Rinse Aid Empty (on some models)

Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser when Rinse Aid Empty is lit. A rinse aid greatly improves drying and prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. If the Rinse Aid dispenser is empty, the light glows when you select a cycle or while a cycle is running.

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 turns off when you press any button or close the door.

Clean

Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you press any button or close the door.

(On top control models)

The active vent reduces the 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.

(On split control models)

The active vent reduces the sounds from your dishwasher. The vent closes, after the cycle starts, to lock in sound. The Active Vent opens when wash action ends and vapor is vented into room. Between cycles, the vent stays open for airflow, reducing the buildup of odors.

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

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

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