POWER 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.

particles from the water, stores them, then

washes them down the drain.
