Whirlpool DU1800XT Dishwasher User Manual


 
For best results
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water and detergent against
soiled surfaces of dishes. When a cycle is started, the dishwasher fills with water to a level
slightly above the heating element. This water is constantly pumped through the rotating
spray arm and center wash tower onto the dishes. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced
with clean water during a cycle. The number of times depends on the cycle being used.
Loud dishes so soiled surfaces face the powerful spray from rotating arm and center
wash tower.
Preparing the load for washing
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the
dishwasher. Just remove large pieces and quantities of food
and bones. Foods that are burned onto utensils (not just cooked
on] may be difficult to remove. Some hand washing may be
necessary
