Water heating

The dishwasher will heat water during portions of the Pots & Pans, Heavy Wash, Normal and Light Wash Cycles to improve washability (see pages

6 and 7). The Cycle Control Knob does not move while the water is heating. The heating time is based on the temperature of the water supply as it enters the dishwasher. The cooler the water, the longer the heating time. When the water tempera- ture reaches 140°F (60°C), the Cycle Control Knob will begin moving again. If the water supply is already hot enough, the dishwasher will not pause.

Lo-Energy Option

The dishwasher will not heat the wash water as described above when the Lo-Energy Option is selected. This will reduce the amount of electricity needed to run the dishwasher, but loads may not wash as well if the water supply temperature is too low.

Hi-Tbmp Rinse Option

When this option is selected, water for the final rinse is heated to 140°F (60°C). The DELAY/ WATER HEATING Signal Light will come on while the water is heating. Use this option to help dry dishes faster and reduce spotting. If the

water is already hot enough, the cycle continues without delay.

Air Dry Option

Air in the dishwasher is automatically heated during the “dry” part of all cycles except Rinse & Hold.

If the Air Dry Option is selected, air in the dish- washer is not heated. Using this option helps save energy, but dishes take longer to dry (overnight) and some spotting may result. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

For best drying results, use a liquid rinse agent such as Jet-Dry.@

8700 Series specifications

The Whirlpool 8700 Series represents a pinnacle in home appliance innovation, delivering both style and functionality for today’s discerning homeowner. Renowned for its reliability and performance, this series includes appliances like washers and dryers that cater to the varied needs of modern families.

One of the standout features of the Whirlpool 8700 Series is its Adaptive Wash Technology. This cutting-edge technology uses sensors to evaluate load size and fabric type, optimizing the wash cycle for the best clean possible while minimizing water and energy consumption. This not only ensures that garments are treated with care but also contributes to more efficient resource usage, making it an eco-friendly choice for households.

Another significant advantage of the Whirlpool 8700 Series is its option for EcoBoost, which allows for enhanced energy savings. This feature utilizes a combination of water temperature adjustment and cycle optimization to reduce overall energy consumption. Users can enjoy a thorough cleaning experience without the guilt of a high utility bill.

The washers in this series also include the Precision Dispense feature, which automatically releases detergent, bleach, and fabric softener at the right time during the wash cycle. This ensures that each item receives the correct amount of cleaning solution, enhancing cleaning effectiveness while preserving fabric quality.

Dryers in the series come equipped with Advanced Moisture Sensing technology. This feature monitors the drying process to prevent over-drying, ensuring clothes are dried just right. The result is reduced wear and tear on fabrics, extending the life of clothing. Additionally, the Wrinkle Shield option helps to prevent wrinkles by tumbling clothes intermittently after the cycle ends.

Style and design are not overlooked in the Whirlpool 8700 Series. With a sleek, modern look and an intuitive control panel, these appliances fit seamlessly into contemporary home aesthetics. Available in a variety of finishes, they are designed to meet not only functional needs but also to enhance the kitchen or laundry room’s visual appeal.
