Wash System
The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results.
Four levels of filtration and a soil collector system filter the wash
water and prevent food particles from redepositing on the clean
dishes.
■ The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra-Fine
filter, trapping food particles.
■ Two water jets, located under the spray arm, remove the food
particles from the Ultra-Fine filter.
■ A coarse strainer prevents bones, pits, and other large objects
from entering the pump system.
NOTE: Periodically check the coarse strainer and remove any
objects on the strainer.
Sensor System
This dishwasher is equipped with an optical sensor wash that
detects water temperature, soil and detergent amount. 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, 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.
Sound System
The WHISPER QUIET
®
sound insulation system helps to maintain
a quiet home environment during dishwasher operation.
NOTE: If you do not load dishes properly, the quiet operation of
your dishwasher could be affected. (See “Loading” in the
Consumer Reference Guide.)
Drying System
NOTE: Your dishwasher has one of the vent systems shown
below.
Located on the front left side of the door
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.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent
during drying.
Located on the top left side of the door
The active vent reduces the filling and washing 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.
NOTE: There is a slight noise when the vent closes or opens. This
is normal.
Overfill Protection Float
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.
