Pots Pans

On some models, the Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Pots Pan, Normal and Light
Wash (Both Racks) cycles. Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if additional water fills are
needed to clean the dishes or if water fills can be deleted. Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the
amount of soil on the dishes. Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water
temperature.

 Not all cycles available on all models.
