Drying System; Overfill Protection Float; Washing Special Items - Whirlpool 800 Series Use And Care Manual

Air Dry
Select this energy-saving option to dry without heat. Air drying is
useful when loads contain plastic dinnerware that may be
sensitive to high temperatures.
OR
The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur. For
best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics)
may need towel drying.
NOTE: The dishwasher automatically heats the air in the
dishwasher during the "dry" portion of the cycle unless you
select Air Dry.
Hi-Temp Wash (on some models)
Select this option to add extra heat to the water in the Heavy
Wash, Normal Wash, or Light Wash cycles. This helps remove
food soil.
NOTE: On some models, Hi-Temp Wash and Heat Dry must be
switched on at the same time.
Delay Wash (on some models)
Use Delay Wash to run your dishwasher at a later time or during
off-peak hours. You can add items to the load anytime during the
delay countdown. After adding items, close the door firmly until it
latches. The delay countdown will not continue if the door is not
latched.
To delay the start
1. Close the door.
2. Select a wash cycle and option(s).
3. Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise to the number of
hours you want the dishwasher to delay the start.
NOTES:
To cancel the delay, turn the Cycle Control knob to the
desired cycle.
Rinse Only and the Light cycles cannot be delayed.
Plate Warmer (on some models)
Use the Plate Warmer cycle to warm serving dishes or dinner
plates.
NOTE: Use the heated drying option with the Plate Warmer.
1. Close and latch the door.
2. Turn the Cycle Control knob to PLATE WARMER.
3. Allow 8 minutes for the cycle to heat the dishware.
4. Press HEAT DRY.
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.
OR
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent
during drying.
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.
