1.Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
■ Make sure when dishwasher door is closed no items are blocking
detergent dispenser.
■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will
improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface
downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and
between dishes.
■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
■ Place plastics, small plates and glasses in upper rack.
■ Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load dishes
so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items
are secured in racks.
■ Additional loading patterns are available online at
www.whirlpool.com.
■ Use slots in the
covers (if provided)
and suggested
loading patterns to
keep your
silverware
separated for
optimum wash.
NOTE: The
AnyWare™ Silverware Basket can sit in the door for completely usable
rack space letting you fit more items. It can also go in the front or side of
your lower rack to fit your needs.
2.Check That All Arms Spin Freely
3.Add Detergent
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid or
tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic dishwasher
detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed
detergent container in a cool, dry
place.
Recommended Detergents
Many detergents now come in
premeasured forms (gel packs,
tablets, or powder packs). It is recommended to use tablets and packs
for convenience and improved performance. They have been proven
better than powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on
dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or
eliminate white film. Also, by using a rinse aid you can minimize repeat
buildup of white film. These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil
levels. Always place premeasured detergents in the main compartment
and close the lid.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the online guide for more information
on powder and gel usage.
4.Add Rinse Aid
■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior
will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry option will not perform
as well without rinse aid.
■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry
as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing
water to drain off of dishes after final rinse.
Recommended detergent
The United States and Canada have passed a restriction limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in
the household dishwasher detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous detergents contained 8.7%.
Major manufacturers have reformulated their dishwasher detergent for this change in detergents as another
step in eco-conscious awareness. With these recent changes it is recommended to use tablets and packs for
convenience and improved performances.
OPERATING YOUR DISHWASHER
Upper rack Lower rack
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down
and avoid “nesting” as shown. If your silverware does not fit into the
designated slots, flip covers up and mix silverware types to keep
them separated.
