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 fo( proper
cleaning.
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.
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.
