ProperLoading

Preparation for loading

It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove large pieces, bones and other hard items. The POWER CLEAN’ Module will remove food particles from the water. It contains a chopping device 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, crunching or buzz- ing sounds. Those sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (i.e. pot handle screws) get into the POWER CLEAN* Module. This could result in damage to the POWER CLEAN* Module.

Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are reached by spray from rotating spray arms. Water must be able to drain off completely for best drying results. Be careful to separate items so spray can

reach all surfaces.
