ENERGY SAVER™ Dry System

The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur. For

Status Indicators

Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status
indicators.
Add Rinse Aid
Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser when Add 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.
Sensing/Soak
Your dishwasher senses the soil level on the dishes. Soil level
determines the length of some cycles, the amount of heat or
water added, and the cycle needed for the load. Soaks help
loosen soils on the dishes.
Sensing/Soak glows during the sensing and soak parts of the
cycle. Wash action continues while sensing occurs. Wash action
pauses during a soak.
Add a Dish
After a cycle starts, you can add an item to your dishwasher while
Add A Dish glows. After the light turns off, items added to the
dishwasher may not be completely cleaned.
Water Heating
Water Heating glows, and the cycle progression pauses,
whenever water is heated to a set temperature during a cycle.
Wash or rinse action continues as the water heats.
Clean
Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you
open and close the door or press the Cancel pad.
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 incoming water
temperature is too low. The light goes off when you open and
close the door.
