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. This water is pumped through the rotating
spray arm&through the POWER CLEAN Module which removes food particles,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 powerful spray from rotating arms.

putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove
