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.
