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 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 powerful spray from rotating arms.

5.Close and latch door.

6.Run hot water at sink nearest dishwasher until it is hot. Turn it off.

7.Select a cycle.

8.Select an option.

9.Press START.

Step-saving preparation for washing

It is not necessary to rinse dishes betore putting them Into the dishwasher. Just remove large pieces, bones, and other hard items. The POWER CLEAN* Module will remove food pani- cles from the water. It contains a chopping de- vice which w/II 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 buzzing 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.
