Whirlpool WDF590SAJM - User Manual
This Whirlpool dishwasher manual primarily focuses on safety, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting to ensure proper use and longevity. The document covers critical safety precautions–such as grounding requirements, hazard warnings, and preventing tip-over risks–to minimize accidents. It also details essential operational steps like loading dishes correctly, selecting wash cycles (including sensor-based adjustments), and using rinse aid for optimal drying. Maintenance tips address filter care, hard water treatment, and seasonal storage to prolong appliance life. Troubleshooting sections address common issues–such as failed starts, incomplete cleaning, or improper drying–with practical solutions like checking detergent levels, verifying water flow, and inspecting filters. While warranty details are included, they are secondary to the core operational guidance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
■
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
■
Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a
dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
■
When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of
cut-type injuries.
■
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so
marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
■
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after
use.
■
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.
■
Do not tamper with controls.
■
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of
the dishwasher.
■
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or
on the dishwasher.
■
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, before using the
dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
■
Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
