Wash System

The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results. A triple filtration and soil collector system filters the wash water and prevents food particles from redepositing on the clean dishes.

■The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra- Fine filter, trapping food particles. A small amount of water remains under the filter to keep the pump seal moist.

Wash or rinse action continues as the water heats.

■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.
