Status Indicators

Sanitized
If you select the SANI RINSE™ option, Sanitized glows when the
SANI RINSE™ cycle is finished. The light turns on when you open
the door. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes,
the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the
cycle is interrupted or the incoming water temperature is too low.
The light goes off when you close the door or press Cancel.
Clean
Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns on when you
open the door. The light turns off when you open and close the
door or press Cancel.

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.
As the Ultra-Fine Filter traps food particles, the pressure in
the pump increases. The sensor monitors this pressure and
automatically adjusts the wash cycle for the best wash
performance.
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.

How the sensor adjusts the cycle:
While the dishwasher is "sensing," it may perform a series of
short drains and fills skimming off small amounts of soils and
dirty water. These are simultaneously replaced with clean water.
This removes trapped food particles from the pump for improved
wash performance. Once soil level is determined, the sensor
automatically adds heat, time, or water as needed for proper
cleaning.

Active Vent

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: The features on your dishwasher may vary from the
illustration below.
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.
