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 re-

move large pieces,

bones, and other hard
items. The POWER

Hot water is a must

If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts and
egg shells enter the POWER CLEAN Module,
you might hear chopping, grinding, crunch­ing or buzzing sounds. Those sounds are nor­mal when hard items enter the module. DO

turn on hot water faucet nearest the dish­washer. Let water run until it is as hot as pos­sible, then check with a candy or meat
thermometer. If 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
down your water heater, if you choose,
without cutting back on hot water needed
for good dishwashing.
