Whirlpool 945 Dishwasher User Manual

Air Dry
Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy.
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.
Delay Hours
Use Delay Hours 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.
Press Delay Hours 1 time for a 2-hour delay, 2 times for a 4-
hour delay, or 3 times for a 6-hour delay.
3.
Select a wash cycle and option.
The number glows above Delay Hours. The dishwasher starts the
cycle in the selected number of hours. If you do not press a cycle
within 30 seconds, the Delay Hours indicator turns off.
NOTES:
To cancel the delay and cycle, press Cancel/Drain.
To cancel the delay and start the cycle, press Delay Hours
until “6” glows. Then press Delay Hours one more time. The
delayed cycle starts.
Cycle Status Indicators
Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status
Indicators. Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns
off when you open the door or press Cancel/Drain.
NOTE:
Your model may have some or all of these indicators.
Heat Water
Heat Water glows whenever water is heated during a cycle. Wash
or rinse action continues as the water heats.
Sanitized
If you select the SANI RINSE™ option, SANITIZED glows when
the SANI RINSE cycle is finished. If your dishwasher did not
properly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the
cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light goes
off when you open the door.
Clean
CLEAN glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when
you open the door or press Cancel/Drain.
Locked
Use Locked to prevent unintended use of the dishwasher. You
can also use the Locked feature to prevent unintended cycle or
option changes during a cycle.
NOTE:
When Locked is lit, all buttons are disabled.
To lock the controls
Press and hold
for 5 seconds. Locked glows. If you press any pad while your
dishwasher is locked, the light flashes 3 times.
To unlock the controls
Press and hold Air Dry for 5 seconds until the light turns off.
NOTE:
The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls
are locked.
Drying System
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.
IMPORTANT:
The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent
during drying.
Overfill Protection Float
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.
