POWER CLEA4W 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
ievel of the heating element This water is pumped through the rotating spray arms, through
the POWER CLEAN* Module which removes 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
The POWER CLEAN’ Module removes food
particles from the water, stores them, then
washes them down the drain.
