PQWER CLEAN’” washing system
Yourdishwashercleans 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 before putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove 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, 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.
Hot water is a must
Hot water dissolves and activates the dish- washing detergent. Hot water dissolves grease on dishes and helps dry glasses
1.Maintain 140°F water supply at central water heater. To check water temperature, turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until it is as hot as possible, 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
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.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping and clattering noises during operation:
l Makesure lightweight load itemsare secured in the rack.
l Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc. do not touch interior walls
or interfere with either of the spray arms rotation.
l Load dishes so they don’t touch one another.
NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs Inserted durfng dlshwasher operatlon to prevent nolse trans- fer through drains.
