Agua Caliente
Para limpiar y secar los platos usted necesita
agua caliente. Para ayudarle a usted a obtener
agua a una temperatura apropiada, su
lavadora de platos calienta el agua
autom&ticamente en el ciclo de lavado. Se
necesita agua a temperatura elevada para
disolver la grasa y activar los detergentes en
polvo. Para un buen lavado y secado, el agua
que entra debe tener una temperatura de por
Io menos 120°E Para evitar dafio a los platos,
el agua entrante no dabs exceder los 150°F.
Compruebe la temperatura de su agua con un
term6metro para caramelo o came.
Abra la Ilave del agua caliente m;_s cercana
a la lavadora de platos. Ponga el term6metro
en un vaso y deje que el agua corra
continuamente dentro del vaso hasta qua la
temperatura deje de subir.
No ponga a funcionar la lavadora de platos
durante o inmediatamente despu_s de otro uso
abundante de agua caliente, tal como
el lavado de ropa o un bafio.

agua o traiga una muestra a su tienda Sears
para hacer una prueba.
