Whirlpool 900 Series Starting Your Dishwasher

Starting Your Dishwasher

This section tells you how to start or stop your dishwasher. Refer to it for quick reference.

1. Load the dishwasher. See pages 6-9.

2. Spin the spray arms. They should turn freely.

3. Add detergent. See page 10.

4. Add rinse agent, if needed. See page 11.

5. Close door firmly until it latches.

6. Run hot water at the sink nearest the dish-

washer until water is hot. Turn

water off. (See page 17.)

7. Press a Cycle pad. If desired, press one

fiF?t?

or more Option pads. (See

pages 12-l 3.) The indicator

above each pad will show red

when selected.

NOTE: NORMAL, LIGHT, and

RINSE-WASH LATER cycles all share

the same pad. The Cycle Control Knob

determines which cycle operates.

8. Turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to

the desired cycle. You will feel

a definite “stop” at each cycle

mark. The dishwasher auto-

matically starts the cycle you

select.

NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear

the cycles start and stop as the control

knob passes each cycle mark. This is

normal and does not hurt the dishwasher.

If you prefer, you can set the Cycle

Control Knob with the door unlatched.

You can stop your dishwasher anytime during

a cycle. All you have to do is:

l Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling or

spraying action to stop before opening the

door all the way. Close the door to continue

the cycle.

l Turn the Cycle Control Knob slowly clock-

wise until you hear water draining. Let the

dishwasher drain completely. Then open

the door and turn the Cycle Control Knob

to OFF. 5
