Understanding your dishwasher’s features

How your dishwasher cleans

The dishwasher fills with water, covering the filter area at the bottom.

Water is then pumped through the various filter and spray arms, spraying a

mixture of hot water and detergent against the soiled surfaces of your

dishes and silverware. Soil particles are separated and go down the drain as the

dirty water is drained and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills

is determined by the cycle selected.

Wash cycle selections

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is

necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils.

An automatic sensor checks the incoming water temperature and, if it is not

hot enough, the timer will be delayed to allow for the water to heat for the

main wash of all cycles. This happens even when hi-temp wash is selected,

so that higher temperature will be available to handle heavier soil loads.

Filter system

Your dishwasher has a multiple filter system which includes four separate filter meshes. It separates dirty water and clean water into different chambers.The multiple filter system helps your dishwasher to get better performance with less water and less energy.

Smart wash system

Your dishwasher has a smart wash system under the normal wash program which selects the wash cycle based on how large and how soiled the load, permitting your dishwasher to clean more efficiently every time. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a short wash cycle is automatically selected. When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle is automatically selected.

Adjustable upper rack

The upper rack of your dishwasher can be raised or lowered to accommodate loading dishes of varying heights in either rack. After removing the 3rd rack, the upper rack clearance height can be adjusted from 8" to 10". The lower rack clearance height can be adjusted from 11" to 13". See “Adjusting the upper rack” on page 15.
