Manual

Add Detergent

NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse

cycle. Do not use detergent.

■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid

or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.

■ Fresh automatic

dishwasher detergent

results in better

cleaning. Store tightly

closed detergent

container in a cool,

dry place.

■ The amount of detergent to use depends on:

How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads

require more detergent.

The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water,

dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,

glassware will etch.

Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon)

[typical water softener water and some city water]

Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)

[well water and some city water]

■ Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section

of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the

level shown, if needed.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown

are for standard powdered

detergent. Follow

instructions on the package

when using other

dishwasher detergent.

Add Rinse Aid

■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying

performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher

interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will

not perform as well without rinse aid.

■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming

droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.

They also improve drying by allowing

water to drain off of the dishes after the

final rinse.

■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess

moisture on the dish racks and interior of

your dishwasher.

■ Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator

drops to “Add” level or, when rinse aid indicator looks light. The

light visual indicator means to add rinse aid, and the dark visual

indicator means that there is sufficient rinse aid in the

dishwasher.

■ Dispenser with one lid - To add

rinse aid, turn the dispenser

cap to “Refill” and lift off. Pour

rinse aid into the opening until

the indicator level is at “Full.”

Replace the dispenser cap and

turn to “Lock.” Make sure cap

is fully locked.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the

factory setting of 2 will give good results.

If you have hard water or notice rings or

spots, try a higher setting. Turn the arrow

adjuster inside the dispenser by either

using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade

screwdriver into the center of the arrow

and turning.

Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)

NOTE: Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. Some

cycles and options will take up to 3¹⁄₂ hours to complete.

Pots & Pans – Use for heavily

soiled, hard-to-clean items.

Normal – Use for normal food soil.

The energy usage label is based on

this cycle.

Light – Use for lightly soiled items or china and crystal.

Glass XPress™ – Use to quickly wash prerinsed glasses or dish

loads

Rinse Only – (no options apply to this cycle) Do not use detergent.

This is only a rinse that keeps food from drying on your dishes and

reduces odor buildup in your dishwasher until you are ready to

wash a full load.

Select Options (options vary by model)

You can customize your cycles by

pressing the options desired.

Soak & Scour – use to presoak your

dishes for 4 hours in your dishwasher

instead of presoaking them in the sink.

Hi-Temp Wash

– (use only with Pots &

Pans and Normal wash cycles) heats the water during the wash

portions of the cycle.

Sani Rinse – (use only with Normal wash cycle; automatic with

Heavy Duty cycle) Select this option to raise the water temperature

in the final rinse to approximately 155°F (68°C). Sani Rinse option

adds heat and time to the cycle. This high temperature rinse

sanitizes your dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI

Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential

dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

Heated Dry – (automatic with all except rinse cycle and ) use for

best drying results. Turn off by pressing Heat Dry so that the light

goes off.

Delay Start – (any cycle) offers the choice to start the

dishwasher automatically at a later time. Select a wash

cycle and options. Press Delay until reaching the desired

hour for Delay to start. Press START/RESUME. Close the

door firmly.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp

items pointing down and avoid “nesting” as

shown.

Do I need to rinse my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Verified

Rinsing the dishes is not necessary, but you do need to remove any large, hard and fat leftovers. These could clog the drain over time.

Can I open the dishwasher while it is running? Verified

Most dishwashers are equipped with a water stop, making the program stop immediately when the door is opened and meaning no water will come out. With some models this can cause problems over time. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

Should I open the dishwasher after it finished running to have the dishes dry quicker? Verified

This depends on the type of dishwasher and the location of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers are equipped with a feature that dries the dishes after the washing program. In that case opening the dishwasher will have no added value. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

What does '6th Sense' mean? Verified

Whirlpool appliances that are equipped with 6th Sense technology have sensors that ensure optimal operation of the machine. For example in dryers, these sensors measure the moisture left in the wash and stops the machine when everything is completely dry.

After the dishwaser has finished its cycle, the plastic dishes are still wet but the rest isn't. Why is that? Verified

Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, allowing the products to cool down quickly. The moisture that remains on it then evaporates far less than for example on ceramics or metal.

Can I connect a dishwasher to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dishwasher, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dishwasher is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord cn handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified

Yes, you can. However, the pan will wear faster than when it is cleaned by hand. When cleaning a pan with Teflon by hand, never use a scourer but use a soft sponge or cloth.
