pumped through the rotating spray arms, through the POWER CLEAN* Module which re- moves 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.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow. erful spray from rotating arms.

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 dish- washing.
