Wash System

The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning
results. A triple filtration and soil collector system filters the
wash water and prevents food particles from redepositing
on the clean dishes.
The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra-
Fine filter, trapping food particles. A small amount of
water remains under the filter to keep the pump seal
moist.
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.
