Dishwasher Features

Your KitchenAid dishwasher may have some or all of these features.
COMMENTS
Clean indicator glows when a cycle is finished.
If you select the Sani Rinse option, when the Sani Rinse cycle is finished,
the Sanitized indicator glows. 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 Clean and Sanitized lights go off when you open and close the door or
press and hold CANCEL.
The light will be blue if the dishwasher is washing or rinsing. The light will
be red when the dishwasher is drying. The light will be green to indicate
that the cycle is complete. If the Front Indicator Light is blinking, see
"Troubleshooting" section.
The indicators will inform you if you are able to add a dish to the cycle after
it has started. It will also inform you if the dishwasher is washing, rinsing,
drying, complete, and/or sanitized. They will show whether the control is
locked and/or the delay option is selected. A series of bars will count down
the duration of the cycle remaining from left to right. Each bar equals
approximately 24 minutes of cycle length. The bars will also count down
the delay feature from left to right, and the delay indicator will be activated.
4. Press and hold CANCEL/DRAIN twice to reset the control.
5. Select new cycles and options.
6. Press START/RESUME.
Adding a Dish After Dishwasher Is Started

Otherwise, proceed to Step 2.)
2. Open the door slightly to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying
action to stop, and then open the door completely.

it is open, the wash cycle has already started and adding a
dish is not recommended.
