Wash Sy:tem

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.

As the Ultra-Fine Filter traps food particles, the pressure in

the pump increases. The sensor monitors this pressure and automatically adjusts the wash cycle for the best wash performance.

•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.

How the sensor adjusts the cycle:

While the dishwasher is "sensing," it may perform a series of short drains and fills skimming off small amounts of soils and dirty water. These are simultaneously replaced with clean water.

This removes trapped food particles from the pump for improved wash performance. Once soil level is determined, the sensor automatically adds heat, time, or water as needed for proper cleaning.

Vent System

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

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 air-flow, reducing the build-up of odors.

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.
