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 pow- erful 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 CLEAN Module will remove food parti-

cles from the water. It contains a chopping de- vice 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 might hear chopping, grinding, crunch- ing or buzzing sounds. Those sounds are nor- mal when hard items enter the module. DO NOT LET METALLIC ITEMS GET INTO THE POWER CLEAN MODULE.

Hot water is a must

Check Water Temperature

Hot water dissolves

and activates the

dishwashing deter- gent. Hot water dis-

solves grease on dishes and helps dry

y glasses spot-free. Make certain loads

are washed in hot water (at leastl40”F - 60°C). Two ways to

have a reliable hot water supply...

turn on hot water faucet nearest the dish- washer. Let water run until it is as hot as pos- sible, 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 heat-
ing 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	tUrfi
down your water heater, if you choose,
without cutting back on hot water needed

1.Maintain 140°F water supply at central water heater. To check water temperature,

for good dishwashing.
