Whirlpool du915 manual

The bottom rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage. Fold down the extra shelf on the right side of the top rack to hold additional cups, or long items such as utensils and spatulas. The light-item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing. You can move a clip anywhere in the rack.

Pull the clip up and off the tine. Reposition the clip on another tine. You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall items in either the top or bottom rack. Two adjusters are located on each side of the top rack. Each adjuster has 3 preset positions.

The high and low positions are marked on the adjuster. With the other hand, pull out the top of the adjuster. Raise or lower the rack to one of the preset positions. Repeat the steps for the remaining adjusters as needed. The 4 adjusters can be raised or lowered separately or together. The top rack does not have to be level.

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place. Load bowls securely between the rows of prongs. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser and silverware basket. The spray arm s must move freely.

NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front. Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table. NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.

NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door. Close the cover to hold small items in place. Spray cannot reach nested items. Grasp the silverware basket by the handle. Slide it toward the top of the door.

Set the silverware basket on the holding buttons. Slide the basket toward the bottom of the door until it locks in place. The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door. The Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the Cover latch. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent.

Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed. NOTE: If you select the Normal cycle by turning the Cycle Control knob before filling the dispenser, the detergent dispenser cover will not stay latched. This is normal and will not affect washing performance.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the covered section for cycles with 1 wash. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less than 8. NOTE: Add only 1 tb or 15 g of detergent to both sections if dishes are pre-rinsed or the water is very soft 0 to 2 grains per gallon.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Or you can remove the Fill Indicator cap. The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz mL of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it.

Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it. Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open. Remove the Fill Indicator cap. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out, and could cause oversudsing. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth. Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly. Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent.

Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function.

If your water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line.

Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.

These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal cycle. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

Allow longer drying times overnight when using these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying. Run a rinse cycle after meals until the dishwasher is full. 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. Turn the water off. Turn the hot water off.

This can be done after the last rinse. Pull the hoses out of their storage compartment on the back 2. Hold the top rack with one hand near the adjuster. The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. See recommended loading patterns shown.
