For Best Results

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mix- ture of hot, clean water and detergent against soiled surfaces of dishes. When a cycle is started, the dishwasher fills with waterto about the level of the heating element. This water is pumped through the rotating spray arms, drained through the filter system which re- moves food and soil, and pumped back through the rotating spray arms. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water during a cycle-the number of times depends on the cycle being used.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow- erful spray from rotating arms.

The self-cleaning removable filtering pump guard system and help eliminate pre- rinsing by removing food particles from the

The filtering system

It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove large pieces and quantities of food and bones.

The filtering system helps keep food particles out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed away as water is pumped out. Larger particles are trapped in the pump guard.

1.

To remove the pump guard for cleaning...

Wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down.

2. Unload and remove the bottom rack.

3. Press the outside wall of the pump guard at the centerto release the latch.

4. Lift out and rinse clean.

1.

To replace the pump guard...

Insert pump guard legs (on inside wall) into matching openings in filter screen.

2.

3.

Press down on outside wall until latch snaps into place.

Replace bottom rack with rack bumpers in tront.

Pump Guard

Water must be hot

For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least

140°F (60°C).

1. Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until it is as hot as possible.

2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of hot water to measure the temperature.

3. If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting.

4. Your dishwasher has a HI-TEMP WASHING Option designed to help heat water. Use it when the water temperature is temporarily low. See page 8.

Proper loading

Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are reached by spray from rotating spray arms.

Water must be able to drain off completely for best drying results. Be careful to Separate items so spray can reach all surfaces.

Top rack loading

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses and smaller items.

.

Place so open ends face down for clean- ing and draining.

.

load glasses in top rack only. Bottom rack is not designed for glasses. Damage may occur. l

.

.

Place items in the rows between prongs.

Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.

Be sure lightweight items are held firmly in place.

China, crystal and other delicate items must not touch each other during dish- washer operation. Damage may occur. l l

Load plastic items only in the top rack.

Only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

Plastic items can be melted in the bottom rack. l

Small bowls, pans and other utensils can be placed in the top rack.

Items with cooked-on or dried-on foods should be loaded in the bottom rack with soiled surfaces facing the spray.

Bottom rack loading

Silverware basket loading

Load forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Spray can’t reach nested items.

NO YES

Mix items in each section of the bas- ket. Small items-baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc.-can be put in any section.

Make sure sharp items [knives, forks, skewers, etc.) are put in point down. l l

Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of either the upper or lower spray arm. Spray arms must move freely.

Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in rack.

DI l

Place plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and facing the spray.

The silverware basket can be loaded while it’s in place on the door, or it can be taken out for loading on the counter or table.

It can also be removed for easy un- loading. Always unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the

. Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large items at sides or back. Loading such items in front may keep water spray from reaching detergent dispenser and silverware basket. l l

NOTE:

Do not load glasses, cups or plastic items in the bottom rack.

When lower rack is removed, replace with bumpers in front.

To remove the basket, slide it toward the top of the door-by the handle. Lift it off the holding buttons. Replace it in reverse order.

To open the basket, unhook the latch as shown, Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.

Adding detergent

The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use is an important part of getting your dishes clean. Read this section carefully.

Use automatic dlsh- washer detergent only.

Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.

Different dishwasher brands of detergent have different amounts of phosphorus. Phospho- rus softens water and helps prevent water spots on dishes.

If water is hard and phosphorus content is low (8.7% or less], you may need to use more detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus

(12% or higher). content

Do not add detergent until you are ready to wash. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent

Is necessary for best washing results. Store detergent tightly in a cool dry place.

The detergent dispenser

l

The detergent dispenser has one section with l a cover and one without.

Put detergent in both sections for cycles with two washes.

Put detergent in the covered section only for cycles with one wash. l

Push the cover down until it is latched.

The cover opens auto- matically when the main wash starts. Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed.

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water. If too little is used, dishes won’t be clean. However, if too much is used in soft water, glassware will begin to etch.

Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water depart- ment, water softener company or county extension agent. l

HARD-Fill 1 or both sections to top line if water is 8 or more grains of hardness. l

MEDIUM - Fill 1 or both sections to middle line if water is 5 to 7 grains of hardness. l

SOFT- Fill 1 or both sections to bottom line if water is 0 to 4 grains of hardness.

Rinse aid dispenser

A rinse aid helps keep water from forming droplets and dry- ing as spots. Keep the dispenser filled with a rinse aid such as

Jet-Dry.” A small amount is released automatically during the final rinse of each cycle. Check the dispenser periodically to see if it needs refilling.

Before starting your dishwasher

1.

Spin the Upper Spray Arm to make sure nothing will stop it from turning freely.

2. Close and latch the door.

3. Run hot water at sink nearest dishwasher until it is hot. Turn it off. (See page 14 for connecting instructions.)

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy if you:

1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dish- washer uses the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully loaded machine.

2. Use the NORMAL WASH Cycle for pre- washed or lightly soiled loads. It uses less hot water and energy than other wash cycles.

3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying times

[overnight).

4. load correctly for best washing results. In- correct loading may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or part of the load.

5. Don’t pre-rinse normally soiled dishes. Se- lect the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of detergent for good washing results without hand rinsing.

6. Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours.

Local utilities recommend this to avoid heovy usage of energy at certain times of day

Special tips on dishwasher use

Remember, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do.

Some items are not dishwasher safe or may require special care.

Read these special tips for the following items:

~UminUm: Aluminum loses its bright, shiny appearance and darkens in color due to minerals in the water and the alkalinity of the dishwasher detergent, Colored aluminum may fade.

TIPS: If washed in the dishwasher avoid placing directly in front of detergent dispenser where it could be sprinkled with undissolved detergent, causing spotting, pitting, and discoloration. Follow utensil manufacturers’ cleaning instructions.

China:

Hand-painted, metal-trimmed, and antique china may fade due to high water temperatures and alkaline detergent solution in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher. Load carefully.

Do not allow pieces to touch each other. Test one piece by washing it daily in the dishwasher for several weeks. Then compare it with the rest of the set to see if colors have changed.

CQStd

and decorative

@asses: Crystal can break from sudden exposure to high water temperature. Metal trim and colorful decoration on glass will fade in time when washed in the dishwasher,

TIPS: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher. Load carefully in top rack only. Be sure to load a few larger items in the bottom rack to reduce amount of force of water spray reaching glassware from lower spray arm. Use the shortest cycle.

Flatware:

Salty and acidic foods may tarnish silver and stainless flatware if allowed to remain on the utensils, A film may form on sterling silver and silver plate items washed in a dishwasher. This film is caused by reaction of silver with chlorine in the detergent. Gold flatware is not dishwasher safe.

TIPS: Rinse flatware as soon as possible, especially if it is not to be washed right away.

Dishwasher detergent may remove antique finishes. Wash by hand. Tarnish and film build-up can be removed with silver polish.

CaSt hll

will result.

Ut6!USik

The seasoned finish will be removed in the dishwasher. Rusting

TIPS: Wash by hand. To re-season, coat with unsalted fat and heat in a slow oven for an hour or two.

PlaStiCS: Many plastics will have “Dishwasher Safe” written on them. Some plastics are heat sensitive and may melt or warp.

TIPS: If in doubt, try one piece. Place in upper rack only. AIR DRY option provides additional protection.

Non-stick finish

UtenSilS: Most can be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Follow manufacturers’ suggestions,

Wood:

M any wooden items will crack and warp or lose their finish.

TIPS: Do not wash cutting boards, wooden salad bowls or knives with wooden han- dles In the dishwasher.

&3Vter

Or

pewter-like materials:

May streak, discolor, and pit.

TIPS: To keep pewter at its very best, hand wash with mild detergent.

Dishwasher care & cleaning:

Exterior - Regular use of a soft damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary, in most cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice lookin! clean. Interior - Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build-up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

.~;+

Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the dishwasher interior. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because

It may cause foaming or sudsing.

Dishwasher cycle not completed

Clogged drain air gap

Allow dishwasher to complete cycle.

Some plumbing codes require use of a drain air gap be- tween an undercounter dishwasher and the drain system of the house. The air gap is usually located above the sink or on the top of the counter near the dishwasher to preveni the possibility of water backing up from the drain into the dishwasher due to a plugged-drain. The drain air gap is

NOT a Dart of the dishwasher and is NOT covered by the dishwasher warranty. The drain air gap should be kept clean to insure proper draining of the dishwasher.

Connecting your portable dishwasher

Converting to built-in

Your Whirlpool Portable Dishwasher can be converted to a built-in (undercounter) model by using conversion kit No. 569056. The kit is available at your Whirlpool dealer or autho- rrzed TECH-CARE” Service Company. Instruc- tions are included with the kit.

Caring for simulated wood top

The simulated wood top can be used as a utility work surface for most kitchen jobs. It is stronger and more easily cleaned than genu- ine wood.

The top can be used as a cutting board. Knife marks will be visible but will not seriously dam- age top. Hot items from the oven can be placed on the top.

Clean with warm, soapy water. For dried on foods, use a scouring pad

If you need setice or assistance, we suggest you follow these five steps:

1.

Before calling for assistance...

3.

If you need service*...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

If your dishwasher will not run, or stops during a cvcle: j

Is-the door tightly closed and securely latched?

Has the cycle been correctly set (and the

Control Knob pulled out)?

Is the water turned on?

Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage (portable models]?

If the motor has stopped because of an over- load, it will automatically reset itself within a few minutes. If the motor does not start, call for service.

Are you using the POTS & PANS Cycle or HI-

TEMP WASHING Option? Is the dishwasher wait- ing for water to heat? l l

If water remains in the dishwasher:

Has the cycle completed? l

A small amount of remaining water is normal.

Is drain air gap clogged?
