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 arms, 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.
Step-saving preparation for washing
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove
large pieces, bones, and other hard items. The
POWER CLEAN* Module will remove food particles from the water. It contains a chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.
If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts and egg
shells enter the POWER CLEAN’ Module. you

the temperature is too low, have a qualified
person raise the water heater thermostat
setting.
2. Use HI-TEMP WASHING Option. If water heating
is needed, a thermostat will delay the cycle
until temperature reaches 145 F (63 C]. If
water is hot enough, the cycle will proceed
with no delay. This lets you turn down your
water heater, if you choose, without cutting
back on hot water needed for good dishwashing.
