Whirlpool TUD6900 Dishwasher User Manual


 
10
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
Select the wash cycle and options desired and press START/
RESUME. The dishwasher starts filling once you press START/
RESUME, unless you select a delay wash. You can select an
option as the machine is filling.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle unless new
options are selected or Cancel/Drain is selected.
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.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
These models meet 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
Anytime during a cycle, press CANCEL/DRAIN. Cancel/Drain
glows. The dishwasher pauses for about 5 seconds and starts a
2-minute drain (if needed). Let the dishwasher drain completely.
The light goes off when the dishwasher finishes the drain.
To stop the drain
You can press CANCEL/DRAIN again to stop the drain
immediately. Remember to drain the dishwasher before starting a
new cycle.
NOTE: A small amount of water remains in the dishwasher. This
is normal.
To clear the indicators
Press CANCEL/DRAIN before starting the dishwasher to clear all
options and cycles.
