IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat and water as needed.

COMMENTS

To start or resume a wash cycle

If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is interrupted, all lights will flash to indicate a suspended cycle. The cycle will not resume until the door is closed and the START/RESUME button is pushed.

To cancel wash

Close the door firmly. The dishwasher starts a 2-minute drain (if needed). Let the dishwasher

cycle

drain completely.

To follow the progress and status of your dishwasher cycle

The “Clean” indicator glows when a cycle is finished.

If you select the Sanitize option, when the Sanitize cycle is finished, the Sanitized indicator glows. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes, the light will not come on. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted, or the water could not be heated to the required temperature. The clean and sanitize lights go off when the door has been opened for more than 30 seconds or the CANCEL key is pressed.

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

The “Drying” indicator glows during the drying portion of each cycle (expect Insta Wash and Rinse Only).
