Introduction

The new Triton XL Dishwashers are packed with features to get your dishes cleaner, pots and pans spotless, and keep your kitchen quieter... and with a power usage of 477 kWhr/yr, they have an “EnergyStar” rating.

The Triton XL Dishwashers have 3 wash arms that provide complete coverage, eliminating prerinsing, soaking, and scrubbing. The ExtraClean

sensor incorporates a thermistor Auto Temp control and measures the water turbidity in 5 levels of cleanliness. The 100% triple-water filtration, with extra fine filter, eliminates recirculating

food particles. The PiranhaTM hard food disposer grinds and pulverizes any other food particles.

Triton XL Dishwashers run quieter thanks to our QuietPower

motor, P ermaTuf® tub, and the

QuietP ower IV sound insulation, Thinstall. The dual wattage Calrod

heater draws 835 W when it is wet to heat the water faster and, during the drying cycle, drops to 700 W for gentler drying.

The information on the following pages will help you service these new Triton XL Dishwashers effectively and efficiently.
