Sensing/ Water Washing Rinsing Drying Clean Sanitized Refil
Soaking Heating Rinse Aid
NOTE: Your model may have some or all of the indicators shown
above.
Sensing/Soaking
Sensing/Soaking glows during both the Sensing and Soaking
parts of the cycle. Your dishwasher senses soil level during soil
sensing intervals and water temperature during Water Heating
pause intervals. Your dishwasher soaks when Soak & Scrub is
selected. Washing continues while Sensing occurs. Washing
pauses for regular intervals during a soak.
Water Heating
Water Heating glows only when the cycle pauses to heat water to
a set temperature. Washing or rinsing continues as water heats.
Once water reaches the set temperature, the light goes off and
the cycle resumes.
NOTE: Some portions of the cycle are heated for fixed periods of
time, but not to a set temperature. The cycle does not pause. The
Water Heating light is not turned on for these timed heats.
Clean
Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you
open and close the door or press Cancel/Drain.
Sanitized
If you select the Sani-Rinse option, Sanitized glows when the
Sani-Rinse cycle is finished. 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. The light goes off when
you open the door.
Refill Rinse Aid
Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser when Refill Rinse Aid is lit. A rinse aid
prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or
streaks.
If the Rinse Aid dispenser is empty, the light glows when you
select a cycle or while a cycle is running.
The Active Vent reduces the sounds from your dishwasher. The
cover closes after the cycle starts. Filling and washing sounds are
reduced. The Active Vent opens when wash action ends and
vapor is vented into room.
NOTE: There is a slight noise when the cover closes or opens.
This is normal.
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.
