Whirlpool SUD5100 Changing a Cycle or Setting, Adding Items During a Cycle, Option Selections

Changing a Cycle or Setting

If your dishwasher has more than one wash cycle, you can change a cycle anytime during a cycle.

1.Lift the door latch to stop the cycle.

2.Press a cycle and, if desired, press an option.

3.Turn the cycle control knob clockwise.

4.Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled properly for the new cycle.

NOTE: Turning the cycle control knob can cause the covered detergent dispenser section to open and release the detergent. Check the covered section if the cycle uses detergent in both sections.

5.Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher starts a new cycle.

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.

HI-

TEMP

WASH

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.

Adding Items During a Cycle

You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts, or the cycle control knob reaches Normal/Light.

To add items

1.Lift up the door latch to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying action to stop before opening the door.

2.Open the door and add the item.

3.Close the door, but do not latch it. Wait 30 seconds for the air in the dishwasher to warm up. This reduces the amount of moisture escaping from the vent when restarting a cycle.

4.Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher resumes the cycle.

Using the Plate Warmer

Use the Plate Warmer cycle to warm serving dishes or dinner plates.

NOTE: Do not use the Air Dry option.

1.Close and latch the door.

2.Turn the cycle control knob to PLATE WARMER.

3.Allow 8 minutes for the cycle to heat the dishware.

4.Turn the cycle control knob to OFF.

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.

AIR DRY

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/Light cycles cannot be delayed.
