A:AnswerHello Perplexed! Per page 11 of the Use and Care Guide: EZ-2-Lift™ Top Rack Adjuster: You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall items in either the top or bottom rack. Adjusters are located on each side of the top rack. To raise the rack: Press both rack adjuster thumb levers and lift the rack
until it is in the up position and level. To lower the rack: Press both rack adjuster thumb levers and slide the rack to its down position and level.
NOTE: The top rack must be level.
A:Answer3rd rack is useful for large knives and utensils. Upper rack is adjustable and accommodate large glasses by adjusting it to the lower position. The filter is easily removable and can be washed.
A:AnswerMelissa,
I absolutely love this dishwasher. I was concerned about that as well when I was looking to purchase this dishwasher. I have an 8 year old that helps out in the kitchen with the dishes and I've had no issues with fingerprints or smudges.
A:AnswerShortcake, the dishwasher racks are made of Nylon. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
A:AnswerThis is the regular stainless steel. However, we use the handle to open and close the dishwasher and I have only had to wipe it down the one time after they installed it. So far I am very happy with the dishwasher.
A:AnswerOrdered matching set of dishwasher, refrigerator, stove and microwave and all showed black stainless in the picture but they all came with original stainless handles.
In my case we like the original stainless color handles.
A:AnswerThe cycle modes are a balance between energy efficiency, cycle time and the amount of soil you are removing from the dishes. Most dishwasher detergents require at least 140 degree F water to dissolve and work properly. Typically people set their water heaters around 115 to 130 degrees F to avoid scalding and save energy. It is important for the water heat cycle to be used in most conditions to allow the detergent to work properly. Newer energy efficient dishwashers run the cycle longer with less water and the better machines will filter and collect the soil as the wash cycle progresses. When the dishwasher drains, the collected soil is removed as part of the draining process. So cycle time increases for cycle modes that run longer to remove larger amounts of soil and cycles that heat the water. Most dishwashers with digital controllers show the estimated time for the cycle and you can see it vary according to the features you select. A good feature on some models allow you to delay the start time so the machine could run in the middle of the night. This could be a benefit if you pay for your energy on a tiered rate plan instead of a flat rate plan. On your electric bill the unit the utility companies charge you for the electrical energy is typically shown as kilowatt hours. For example, it may vary from 8 cents to 40 cents per kWh depending on the regulatory impact, location, time of year, and what the utility companies pay for the power. They also charge for generation and distribution and you can select options for that as well. If you change your rate from the normal flat rate to a tiered rate the charge is much less during non peak times but is higher during peak times. This is typically true for someone who recharges an electric vehicle but also could be available to anyone who has programmable dishwashers, washing machines, electric dryers, or any other electric appliance. You should check with your Utility company to see if this option is available. Solar panels and battery banks or power walls are also very helpful in avoiding the high costs of using power from the grid during peak hours. Commercial Building routinely avoid high cost electrical consumption during peak times when the cost can be exponentially higher than non peak times by a planned reduction in power called load shedding or by using battery systems to allow them to temporarily reduce peak consumption and then recharge the batteries when non peak rates apply.
A:AnswerApparently, this particular model does NOT vent through the drain hose. The vent on the upper left side door is precisely that...a vent for the steam. I asked Whirlpool if the unit vented through the drain hose then what is the purpose of the vent on the door. They replied that it doesn't vent through the hose, but through the door and sent apologizes for the confusion.
Hope this answers your question (it did mine).
A:AnswerIt's the condensation drying method. Bosch employs this method solely.
The water is super heated during the final cycle and your dishes and glassware retain more of that heat than the steel tub. Then, the water evaporates from the hotter surfaces and condenses to the cooler (tub).
