Hi-Temp Scrub

Select this option to heat the water during parts of the cycle, and add a rinse. Higher water temperatures and an extra rinse helps clean tough soil. Hi-Temp Scrub, with the Heavy cycle, heats the water in the main wash and the prewash. Hi-Temp Scrub, with the Normal cycle, raises the water temperature in the main wash.

This option adds heat, water and wash time to the cycle.

NOTE: Hi-Temp Scrub is an option with the Heavy and Normal cycles.

ENERGY SAVER™ Dry System

The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur. For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

Wash System

The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results. Four levels of filtration, and a soil collector system, filter the wash water and prevent food particles from redepositing on the clean dishes.

■The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra-Fine filter, trapping food particles.

■Two water jets, located under the spray arm remove the food particles from the Ultra-Fine filter.

■A coarse strainer prevents bones, pits, and other large objects from entering the pump system.

NOTE: Periodically check the coarse strainer and remove any objects on the strainer.
