For added convenience, the DU9400XT Series is equipped with a Delay Start option, enabling users to schedule their wash cycles according to their preference. This is especially useful for families with busy schedules. Additionally, the Clean Water Wash System filters and recirculates water, ensuring that food particles are removed, and clean water is used throughout the cycle.
