indicators.
W._._lINe DRYINe CLaN
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from those
shown here.
Rinse Aid Empty (on some models)
Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser when Rinse Aid Empty is lit. A rinse
aid greatly improves drying and 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.
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 turns off when you press any
button or close the door.
Clean
Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you
press any button or close the door.
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.
WASHING SPECIAL
ITEMS
If you have doubts about washing a particular item, check with
the manufacturer to see if it is dishwasher safe.
Material Dishwasher Safe?/Comments
Aluminum Yes
High water temperature and detergents
can affect finish of anodized aluminum.
(On top control models)
The active vent reduces the sounds from your dishwasher. The
vent closes, after the cycle starts, to lock in sound. After the
cycle finishes and the dishes cool for several hours, the vent
opens. This prevents any water vapor from collecting on the
countertop. Between cycles, the vent stays open for airflow,
reducing the buildup of odors.
Disposable No
Aluminum Do not wash throwaway aluminum pans
in the dishwasher. These might shift
during washing and transfer black marks
to dishes and other items.
Bottles and Cans No
Wash bottles and cans by hand. Labels
attached with glue can loosen and clog
the spray arms or pump and reduce
washing performance.
Cast Iron No
Seasoning will be removed and iron will
rust.
China/ Yes
Stoneware Always check manufacturer's
recommendations before washing.
Antique, hand-painted, or over-the-glaze
patterns may fade. Gold leaf can discolor
or fade.
Crystal Yes
Check manufacturer's recommendations
before washing. Some types of leaded
crystal can etch with repeated washing.
Gold No
Gold-colored flatware will discolor.
Glass Yes
Milk glass yellows with repeated
dishwasher washing.
Hollow-Handle No
Knives Handles of some knives are attached to
the blade with adhesives which can
loosen if washed in the dishwasher.
NOTE: There is a slight noise when the vent closes or opens. This
is normal.
(On split control models)
The active vent reduces the sounds from your dishwasher. The
vent closes, after the cycle starts, to lock in sound. The Active
Vent opens when wash action ends and vapor is vented into
room. Between cycles, the vent stays open for airflow, reducing
the buildup of odors.
