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
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 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.
Featuring SMARTTOUCH™ Controls
The SMARTTOUCH™ controls contain state of the art touch
technology.
The SMARTTOUCH™ surface allows for easy cleaning
SMARTTOUCH™ controls operate by sensing the presence of
your finger.
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.
Starting your dishwasher is easy. (See illustration below.)
A. Select a cycle by lightly touching the recessed cycle
selection area.
B. Select the option by lightly touching the recessed button
area.
C. Start the dishwasher by lightly touching the recessed
Start/Resume button.

START-UP GUIDE
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.
Using Your New Dishwasher
1. Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the
dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.
6. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.
2. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes.
3. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)
Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.
4. Add detergent. Always use a quality brand detergent. (See
“Dishwasher Use.”)

8. Press START/RESUME or press START/RESUME to repeat
the same cycle and options as the previous cycle. IMPORTANT: The Start/Resume light will flash if the door is
opened during a cycle. Power interruptions during a cycle may also cause the Start/Resume light to flash. Press START/ RESUME to continue a cycle.
