Whirlpool IRD6710 Dishwasher User Manual


 
10
Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow
longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use
a rinse aid to improve drying.
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
Cycle Selection Charts
Press the desired cycle. Turn the cycle control knob to the
desired cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start
and stop as the cycle control knob passes each cycle mark. This
is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can
set the cycle control knob with the door unlatched.
To use Rinse Only, press any cycle and turn the cycle control
knob to Rinse Only.
NOTE: Use the No Heat Dry option with the Rinse Only cycle.
A “” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have
some or all of the cycles shown.
Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. The cycle
control knob pauses as the water heats.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
This model meets the ENERGY STAR
®
guidelines for energy
efficiency.
Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time
indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the
water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
A small amount of water runs through the pump to remove soil
particles.
Canceling a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle at anytime.
1. Turn the cycle control knob slowly clockwise until you hear
water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely.
2. Open the door.
3. Turn the cycle control knob to Off.
