Whirlpool 945 Cycle Status Indicators, Drying System, Overfill Protection Float, Air Dry, Clean

Air Dry

Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy. The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur.

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.

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.Press Delay Hours 1 time for a 2-hour delay, 2 times for a 4- hour delay, or 3 times for a 6-hour delay.

3.Select a wash cycle and option.

The number glows above Delay Hours. The dishwasher starts the cycle in the selected number of hours. If you do not press a cycle within 30 seconds, the Delay Hours indicator turns off.

NOTES:

■To cancel the delay and cycle, press Cancel/Drain.

■To cancel the delay and start the cycle, press Delay Hours until “6” glows. Then press Delay Hours one more time. The delayed cycle starts.

Cycle Status Indicators

Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status Indicators. Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you open the door or press Cancel/Drain.

NOTE: Your model may have some or all of these indicators.

Heat Water

Heat Water glows whenever water is heated during a cycle. Wash or rinse action continues as the water heats.

Sanitized

If you select the SANI RINSE™ option, SANITIZED glows when the SANI RINSE cycle is finished. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light goes off when you open the door.

Clean

CLEAN glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you open the door or press Cancel/Drain.

Locked

Use Locked to prevent unintended use of the dishwasher. You can also use the Locked feature to prevent unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle.

NOTE: When Locked is lit, all buttons are disabled.

To lock the controls

Press and hold

for 5 seconds. Locked glows. If you press any pad while your dishwasher is locked, the light flashes 3 times.

To unlock the controls

Press and hold Air Dry for 5 seconds until the light turns off.

NOTE: The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls are locked.

Drying System

During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.

IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.

Overfill Protection Float

The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.
