Wash System
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.
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.
Sensor System
This dishwasher is equipped with an optical sensor wash that detects
water temperature, soil and detergent amount. Wash cycles are
adjusted based on what is sensed. The dishwasher “senses” wash
water quality during a series of pauses in the wash cycle. The sensor
monitors water temperature and the amount of soil and detergent
appearing in the wash water. It automatically adjusts the wash
cycle for the best wash. Lightly soiled dishes will use less water
and energy. Heavily soiled dishes will get more water, increased
temperature and wash time. This dishwasher will automatically
adjust the sensor approximately once a year to your water quality.
IMPORTANT: The very first wash cycle after installation in your
home will be adjusted to include an additional 2 rinses. This cycle
must not be interrupted for proper sensor adjustment. If this
adjustment cycle is canceled or stopped before the Clean light
comes on at the end of the cycle, the next wash cycle will repeat this
sensor adjustment.
Sound System
The sound insulation system helps to maintain a quiet home
environment during dishwasher operation.
NOTE: If you do not load dishes properly, the quiet operation of
your dishwasher could be affected. (See “Loading” in the
Consumer Reference Guide.)

Drying System
NOTE: Your dishwasher has one of the vent systems shown below.
Located on the front left side of the door
During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the
upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your
dishes.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during
drying.
Located on the top left side of the door
The active vent reduces the filling and washing 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.
Overfill Protection Float
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.
