NOTE: Your model may have some or all of the indicators shown
above.
Sensing (on some models)
Sensing glows during the Sensing part of the cycle. Your
dishwasher senses soil level during soil sensing intervals and
water temperature during water heating pause intervals.
Washing continues while Sensing occurs.
Clean
Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you
open and close the door or press any button.
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, or the water could not be
heated to the required temperature. The light goes off when you
open and close the door or press any button.
This dishwasher is equipped with an optical sensor wash that
detects water temperature and the amount of soil and detergent.
Wash cycles are adjusted based on what is sensed.
The dishwasher "senses" wash water quality during a series of
pauses in the wash cycle. The sensor monitors water
temperature and the amount of soil and detergent appearing in
the wash water. It automatically adjusts the wash cycle for the
best wash. Lightly soiled dishes will use less water and energy.
Heavily soiled dishes will get more water and increased
temperature and wash time. This dishwasher will automatically
adjust the sensor approximately once a year to your water
quality.
IMPORTANT: The very first wash cycle after installation in your
home will be adjusted to include an additional 2 rinses. This cycle
must not be interrupted for proper sensor adjustment. If this
adjustment cycle is canceled or stopped before the Clean light
comes on at the end of the cycle, the next wash cycle will repeat
this sensor adjustment.
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.
