This section tells you how to properly load your dishwasher for the best washing and rinsing results.
Preparing to load the dishwasher
l To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
l Remove large pieces of food, bones and other hard items. The POWER CLEANTM module will remove food particles from the water. The module contains a chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.
NOTE: 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 mod- ule. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the POWER CLEAN module. This could damage the POWER CLEAN module.
