Cycle Status Indicators; Active Vent; Drying System; Overfill Protection Float - Sears Kenmore ELITE 665.15912 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

Cycle Status Indicators

Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status
indicators.
Rinse Aid Empty
Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser when RINSE AID EMPTY is lit. A rinse
aid prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or
streaks. If the Rinse Aid dispenser is empty, the light glows when
you select a cycle or while a cycle is running.
Sensing
Your dishwasher senses the soil level on the dishes. Soil level
determines the length of some cycles, the amount of heat added
to the wash or rinse, and the cycle needed for the load. SENSING
glows during soil sensing, and while water is being heated. Wash
action continues while sensing occurs.
Sanitized
If you select the Sani Rinse option, SANITIZED glows when the
Sani Rinse cycle is finished. 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. The light goes off when
you open the door.
Clean
CLEAN glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when
you open the door or press Cancel/Drain.

Active Vent

The Active Vent reduces the sounds from your dishwasher. The
cover closes after the cycle starts. Filling and washing sounds are
reduced. The Active Vent opens when wash action ends and
vapor is vented into room.
NOTE: There is a slight noise when the cover closes or opens.
This is normal.

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.
