Cycle Selection Chart - Whirlpool DU960 8269502 Use & Care Manual

Cycle Selection Chart

Select the wash cycle and options desired. The dishwasher starts
filling once you press a cycle, unless you select a delay wash.
You can select an option as the machine is filling.
Your electronic dishwasher senses the soil level on your dishes.
Soil level determines the length of some cycles, the amount of
heat added to a wash or rinse, and the number of washes and
rinses in a cycle.
Cycle time depends upon the soil on the dishes, and water usage
may be higher for large amounts of soil. If dishes are lightly
soiled, cycle time will be as shown.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle unless new
options are selected or Cancel/Drain is selected.
A " " shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have
some or all of the cycles shown.
Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time
indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the
water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
Use this cycle for hard-to-
clean, heavily-soiled pots,
POTS &
