Whirlpool DU909 Dishwasher User Manual

Option Selections
You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you
change your mind, press RESET to turn the option off. 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 Reset.
Hi-Temp Wash
Select this option to heat the water to 140°F (60°C) in the main
wash. This option adds heat and wash time. Heating the water
helps improve washing results.
NOTE:
The Pots & Pans cycle automatically uses this option. Hi-
Temp Wash is an option with the Heavy and Normal Wash cycles.
This option does not work with Light Wash cycles (on some
models).
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.
Reset Options
Select this option to change an option setting.
You can change option settings anytime during a cycle as long as
the cycle has not passed the point where the option is used. For
example, you can press Air Dry anytime before the Cycle Control
knob reaches Dry.
1.
Press RESET.
2.
Press 1 or more options.
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.
Select a wash cycle and option(s).
3.
Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise to the number of
hours you want the dishwasher to delay the start.
NOTES:
To cancel the delay, turn the Cycle Control knob to the
desired cycle.
Rinse Only and the Normal Wash cycles cannot be delayed.
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.
