POWR CLEAN* Washing System
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water and detergent
against soiled surfaces of dishes. When a cycle is started,the dishwasher fills with water
to about the level of the heating element, This water is pumped through the rotating
spray arm&through the POWER CLEAN Module which removes food particle&and 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.
The POWER CLEAN* Module removes food
particles from the water, stores them, then
washes them down the drain.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow-
erful spray from rotating arms.
