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 and 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.
Drying System
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.
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.
