Whirlpool GU970 manual Option Selections, Cycle Status Indicators

Option Selections

You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn the option off. Select a different option if desired.

You can change an option anytime before the selected option begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option any time before drying begins.

After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used and uses the same options in the next wash cycle, unless you select new options or press CANCEL.

Delay Start

Use Delay Start 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 START 1 time for a 2-hour delay, 2 times for a 4- hour delay, or 3 times for a 6-hour delay.

Hi-Temp Scour

Select this high-temperature option for improved cleaning of heavily-soiled dishes. Selecting this option adds heat, water and time to the wash cycle. Heating the water helps improve washing results.

The Pots & Pans cycle, with the Hi-Temp Scour feature, is recommended for baked-on soil.

NOTE: The Hi-Temp Scour feature is an option with Normal Wash, Heavy Wash, and Pots & Pans.

SANI RINSE™ Option

Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse to approximately 155°F (68°C) for 10 minutes. The SANI RINSE™ option adds heat and time to the cycle. In the Normal Wash, Heavy Wash, and Pots & Pans cycles, this high-temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and glassware in accordance with the NSF Protocol P153 Sanitization and Cleaning Performance of Household Spray-Type Dishwashers.

3.Select a wash cycle and option.

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

NOTES:

■To cancel the delay and cycle, press CANCEL.

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

Cycle Status Indicators

Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status Indicators.

NOTE: Use the SANI RINSE™ option with the Normal Wash, Heavy Wash, and Pots & Pans cycles.

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.

Sensing

Your dishwasher senses the soil level on the dishes. Soil level determines the length of some cycles, the amount of heat added to the wash or rinse, and the cycle needed for the load. Sensing glows during the soil sensing parts of the cycle. Wash action continues while sensing occurs.

Water Heating

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

Clean

Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you open the door or press CANCEL.

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.
