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.
‘I Water must be hot
For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least
140°F (60°C).
1. Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run
until it is as hot as possible.
2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of hot water
to measure the temperature.
