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 pow-
erful 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

buzzing sounds. Those sounds are normal when

Hot water dissolves and activates the dish-
washing detergent. Hot water dissolves grease
on dishes and helps dry glassesspot-free. Make
certain loads are washed in hot water [at least
140°F - 60°C). Two ways to have a reliable hot
water supply..
I. 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 HI-TEMP WASHING Option. If water heating
is needed, a thermostat will delay the cycle
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.
To avoid thumping and clattering noises during
operation:
l
Make sure lightweight load items are 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 during
dishwasher operation to prevent noise trans-
fer through drains.
