ULTRA WASH® Soil Removal System

The ULTRA WASH® Soil Removal System gives you sparkling clean dishes, while using less energy and time. The ULTRA

Soil Removal System includes:

WASH

■ A Triple Action Filtration system that intermittently filters soil

from the wash water, thus eliminating the need to scrape dishes.

Featuring smartwash™ cycle and TURBOZONE™ wash option

How the smartwash™ cycle works

When the smartwash™ cycle is selected, it saves energy and water by adjusting the wash cycle as needed.

■ Sensors detect the size of the dish load, the soil level, and the

water temperature in the dishwasher.

■ Sensors automatically adjust the temperature and the

amount of water used for the load.

This dishwasher will automatically calibrate 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 for optical soil sensor calibration. For proper calibration, the first cycle should not be interrupted. If this calibration 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 calibration.

■ An ULTRA WASH

optical soil sensor that detects soil level and detergent quantity appearing in the wash water and adjusts the cycles as needed.

■ An Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) that ensures the

proper water temperature for the selected wash cycle, dish load size, and soil level of the load.

How the TURBOZONE™ wash option works

When the TURBOZONE™ option is selected, it provides a concentrated wash to a specific zone in the back of the lower dishrack for large, hard-to-clean dishes.

■ 4 rotating spray jets on the TURBOZONE™ manifold are

periodically activated at the back of the tub throughout the wash cycle.

■ Intensified cleaning is provided only to this specific wash

area, allowing you to gently clean the rest of the dish load.
