POWER CLEA4W 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
ievel 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
erful spray from rotating arms
