Water chemical reaction with certain types of glassware - usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and heat of drying.

Aluminum items touching dishes

Seasoning removed by dishwasher detergents

SOLUTION

Use recommended dishwasher detergents only.

Follow recommendations on page 10 for amount. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Use fresh detergent. Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Discard lumpy detergent.

Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply may be neces- sary if pressure is too low.

If needed, turn home water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is 120°F (49°C) minimum. See “Tocheck water temperature” on page 19.

Undercounter dishwashers require ad- equate enclosure for proper operation. See Installation Instructions for complete information.

Dishes must have proper water drainage. Do not overload. Follow instructions fo; loading dishwasher on pages 6-9. Use a liquid rinse agent to speed draining.

Some plastics, due to material, may need to be towel dried.

It may not be possible to prevent problem, except by hand washing. To slow this process, use a minimum amount of deter- gent but not less than one tablespoon per load. Use a liquid rinse agent and underload the dishwasher to allow thor- ough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Use the AIR DRY option.

Load aluminum items so that they will not rub against dishes during washing. Do not wash throwaway aluminum items in the dishwasher because they may break down and cause marking. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleanser.

Reseason cookware after dishwasher washing.

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.
