Cycle And Option Descriptions - Whirlpool Dishwasher User Instructions

This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described. Estimated cycle
times may increase or decrease depending on water temperature, soil conditions, dish load size, and options selected. You can customize
your cycle by selecting an option.
See option selections. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option, or select a different option. You can change
an option anytime before the selected option begins. At each stage of the wash cycle, you may hear noises that you are not used to
hearing in your previous dishwasher. Each cycle will provide a series of pauses and water sprays throughout the wash cycle. This is
normal and will provide optimal cleaning performance.
The most advanced and versatile cycle. This cycle senses load size, soil amount, and
toughness of soil, to adjust the cycle for optimal cleaning using only the amount of
water and energy needed. Use for all soil levels.
Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and tableware.
This cycle with only the Heat Dry option selected, and without other options selected, is
recommended to completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes. The
energy usage label is based on this cycle and option combination.
For fast results, 1-Hour Wash will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy.
Select the Heat Dry option to provide best dry performance.
This cycle quietly soaks dishes with an extended prewash which eliminates the need to
presoak dishes saving personal time and effort. For optimal cleaning results during the
Soak & Clean cycle, add prewash detergent. Use this cycle for loads with heavy
amounts of dried on or hard to clean baked-on food.
IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the
cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle
will automatically compensate by adding time, heat and water as needed.
OPTION SELECTIONS
OPTIONS

establishments. The Sanitize indicator at the end of
the cycle shows whether the Sani Rinse option was
successfully completed. If the indicator does not
activate, it is probably due to cycle being interrupted.
