Saving Energy

Saving energy is important and helps you save money. This section gives you tips on the best ways to save energy with your dishwasher.

Loading tips

l Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dishwasher uses the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully-loaded machine.

l Load correctly for best washing results. Incorrect loading may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or part of load.

l Do not prerinse normally-soiled dishes. Select the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of detergent.

Cycle and option tips

l Use the LOW ENERGY/CHINA cycle whenever possible. The cycle uses less hot water and energy than the NORMAL cycle.

l Use 4 HOUR DELAY START to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

l Do not use the HIGH TEMP WASH option if it is not needed. When this option is off, if water entering the dishwasher is lower than 140°F (607, the cycle does not take additional time to heat water during the main wash. In some cases, loads may not dry as well when using the HIGH TEMP WASH option.

NOTE: Loads may not wash or dry as well if the water temperature is too low. For best dishwashing results, water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.

To check water temperature:

1.Run the hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher. Let the water run for at least

1minute.

2.Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the running stream of water. If water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49”(Z), have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermostat setting.

Use the LOW ENERGY RINSE option to turn off the automatic water heating in the final rinse.

Use the AIR DRY option whenever pos- sible. Allow longer drying times (overnight). Use a rinse agent to improve drying.

The Whirlpool 960 Series washer and dryer are engineered with cutting-edge technologies designed to enhance laundry care while providing maximum efficiency and performance. With its sleek design and user-friendly interface, this series caters to modern households seeking reliable yet innovative laundry solutions.

One of the standout features of the Whirlpool 960 Series is its advanced Smart Boost technology. This innovative feature pre-mixes detergent and water before the washing cycle, ensuring thorough cleaning while minimizing the amount of detergent needed. This not only optimizes cleaning efficiency but also helps protect fabrics over time.

The 960 Series also includes the Load & Go dispenser, which allows users to add a single load's worth of detergent for up to 20 loads at a time. This convenience eliminates the need for frequent refilling, saving time and effort during laundry days. Additionally, the Adaptive Wash technology automatically senses the load size and adjusts water levels accordingly, ensuring optimal wash conditions for every load, regardless of size.

Another notable characteristic of the Whirlpool 960 Series is its Quiet Wash sound package, enabling a peaceful laundry experience. Noise-reduction technology ensures that the washer operates quietly, making it ideal for homes where laundry is done at all hours. The dryer in this series is equally impressive, featuring a variety of drying options, including an EcoBoost setting that uses less energy while delivering effective results.

Connectivity is another highlight of the Whirlpool 960 Series. Equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, users can monitor and control their washer and dryer remotely via the Whirlpool app. This includes starting, pausing, or canceling cycles, as well as receiving notifications when loads are complete. This smart technology enhances accessibility and streamlines the laundry process.

Energy efficiency is a key consideration in the Whirlpool 960 Series design. Both the washer and dryer carry ENERGY STAR certification, which signifies that they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This not only contributes to lower utility bills but also reflects a commitment to environmental sustainability.

In summary, the Whirlpool 960 Series stands out for its combination of advanced technology, user-friendly features, and efficiency.
