Control Settings
Status Indicator Lights (Indicators vary by models)
The Status display tells you what is happening while the dishwasher is in operation and may flash,
indicating a malfunction. The lights will come ON indicating the sequence of the dishwasher operation.
LOW DETERGENT Displayed when the SmartDispense

dishwasher detergent.

and you want to turn the LOW DETERGENT
LED light off, press the ADDED HEAT pad 5 times within 3 seconds. You will hear 3
beeps; then the light will go off. You can turn the light back on by pressing the ADDED
HEAT pad 5 times within 3 seconds.

is measuring the amount of soil and temperature
of water. The dishwasher will adjust the selected cycle to achieve optimal performance.

will show hours of time remaining until the cycle starts.

household water pressure and amount of soil in the wash water.
