Status Indicators
Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Status
indicators.
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.
Clean
CLEAN glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when
you open the door or press Cancel/Drain.
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.
Drying System
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.
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.
