Whirlpool GUI500XTKQ0 Use & Care Manual page 14

You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts. Open
the door and check the detergent dispenser. If the cover is still
closed, you can add items.
To add items
1. Lift up the door latch to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying
action to stop before opening the door.
2. Open the door. If the detergent dispenser cover is still closed,
add the item.
3. Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher resumes
the cycle after about a 5-second pause.
You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you
change your mind, press the option again to turn the option off,
or select a different option if desired.
You can change an option anytime before the selected option
begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option
any time before drying begins.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle, unless you
select new options or press Cancel/Drain.
Soak & Scour
Select this option to pre-soak your dishes for 4 hours in your
dishwasher instead of pre-soaking them in the sink. When you
select Soak & Scour, the dishwasher fills and then sprays for 8
minutes. It will then pause for 16 minutes while dishes soak, and
then spray for 90 seconds to keep dishes wet. Pausing for 16
minutes and spraying for 90 seconds are repeated for 4 hours. At
the end of the 4 hours, the dishwasher drains and then starts the
cycle you have selected. This pre-soaking uses only one
additional fill of water and does not require special detergent. Use
standard detergent per cycle recommendations.

Soak &
Scour
If your dishwasher has a dual-digit display, it will show the hours
remaining in the soaking period before the cycle starts, beginning
with
showing 4 hours remaining.
NOTE: Soak & Scour is an option for the Anti-Bacterial (available
on some models) or Pots & Pans cycles. If Hi-Temp Scour is also
selected, only the Soak & Scour option is actually used.
Hi-Temp Scour
Select this option to increase the target water temperature during
the wash portions of the cycle. Hi-Temp Scour raises the target
water temperature to 145°F (63°C) in the main wash. In the Anti-
Bacterial and Pots & Pans cycles, Hi-Temp Scour also raises the
target water temperature to 135°F (57°C) in the pre-wash.
Heating the water helps improve washing results. Hi-Temp Scour
is useful when loads contain baked-on food.
This option adds heat and wash time to the cycle. When Hi-Temp
Scour is used with the Anti-Bacterial and Pots & Pans cycles,
water is also added to the cycle in an additional rinse.
Hi-Temp
Scour
NOTE: Hi-Temp Scour is an option with Anti-Bacterial (available
on some models), Pots & Pans and Normal cycles.
Sani-Rinse
Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse
to approximately 160°F (70°C) for 10 minutes. Sani-Rinse adds
heat and time to the cycle. In the Normal cycle this high-
temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and glassware in
accordance with the NSF Protocol P153 Sanitization and
Cleaning Performance of Household Spray-Type Dishwashers.

useful when loads contain plastic dinnerware that may be
sensitive to high temperatures.
