Dishwasher Feedback Section CONTROLS AND CYCLE STATUS CONTROL PURPOSE The Cycle Status Indicator Lights are used to follow the progress of the dishwasher cycle. Located on the front of the dishwasher for front control models, and located on the top of the door for hidden control models. The Front Indicator Light or A Single Exterior Light (A) shows progress of your dishwasher cycle by color (for hidden control models only). COMMENTS Clean indicator glows when a cycle is finished. If you select the Sani Rinse option, when the Sani Rinse cycle is finished, the Sanitized indicator glows. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted, or the water could not be heated to the required temperature. The Clean and Sanitized lights go off when you open and close the door or press and hold CANCEL. The light will be blue if the dishwasher is washing or rinsing. The light will be red when the dishwasher is drying. The light will be green to indicate that the cycle is complete. If the Front Indicator Light is blinking, see "Troubleshooting" section. The Cycle Status Display is used to follow the progress of the dishwasher cycle, and to show other information. (Available on some models instead of Cycle Status Indicator Lights) The indicators will inform you if you are able to add a dish to the cycle after it has started. It will also inform you if the dishwasher is washing, rinsing, drying, complete, and/or sanitized. They will show whether the control is locked and/or the delay option is selected. A series of bars will count down the duration of the cycle remaining from left to right. Each bar equals approximately 24 minutes of cycle length. The bars will also count down the delay feature from left to right, and the delay indicator will be activated. Canceling a Cycle 1. Open the door slightly to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying action to stop before completely opening the door. 2. Press and hold Cancel/Drain button once. The Cancel/Drain light will light up. 3. Close the door and the dishwasher starts a drain cycle (if water remains in bottom of dishwasher). Let the dishwasher drain completely. The Cancel/Drain light turns off after 2 minutes. Changing a Cycle After Dishwasher Is Started 1. You can interrupt a cycle and restart your dishwasher from the beginning using the following procedure. 2. Open the door slightly to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying action to stop, then open the door completely. 3. Check that detergent dispenser cover is still closed. If cover is open, you will need to refill the detergent dispenser before restarting your new cycle. 4. Press and hold CANCEL/DRAIN twice to reset the control. 5. Select new cycles and options. 6. Press START/RESUME. Adding a Dish After Dishwasher Is Started 1. Check if Add a Dish indicator is lit. (Available on some models. Otherwise, proceed to Step 2.) 2. Open the door slightly to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying action to stop, and then open the door completely. 3. Check whether the detergent dispenser cover is still closed. If it is open, the wash cycle has already started and adding a dish is not recommended. 4. If detergent has not yet been used (detergent dispenser cover is closed), you may add a dish. 5. Press START/RESUME. Dishwasher Features Your KitchenAid dishwasher may have some or all of these features.
