KitchenAid KUDR25SH manual Control Panel Lights, Wash System

Control Panel Lights

Cycle Monitor

Follow the progress of your dishwasher cycles on the Cycle Monitor. CLEAN glows when a cycle is finished. All other lights turn off. The light turns off when you open the door or press Cancel.

Water Heating

WATER HEATING glows, and the cycle progression pauses, whenever water is heated during a cycle.

Wash or rinse action continues as the water heats.

Sensing

Your dishwasher senses the soil level on the dishes. Soil level determines the length of some cycles, the amount of heat added to a wash or rinse, and the cycle needed for the load.

SENSING glows during the soil sensing parts of the cycle. Wash action continues while sensing occurs.

Child Lock

Use Child Lock to prevent your dishwasher from accidentally being turned on. Use Child Lock, also, to prevent accidental cycle or option changes during a cycle.

When CHILD LOCK is lit, all buttons are disabled.

NOTES:

■The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls are locked.

■You can turn on the Lock while the dishwasher is running.

To turn on the Child Lock

Press and hold

for 4 seconds. CHILD LOCK glows.

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

To turn off the Child Lock

Press and hold ENERGY SAVER DRY for 4 seconds. The light turns off.

Sani-Rinse Completed

If you select the Sani-Rinse option, SANI-RINSE COMPLETED 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. The light goes off when you open the door.

Wash System

The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results. A triple filtration and soil collector system filters the wash water and prevents food particles from redepositing on the clean dishes.

■The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra- Fine filter, trapping food particles. A small amount of water remains under the filter to keep the pump seal moist.

■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:

Once soil level is determined, the sensor automatically adds heat, time, or water as needed for proper cleaning.
