Whirlpool GDU4050XP Dishwasher User Manual


 
POWR 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 arm&through the POWER CLEAN Module which removes food particle&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.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow-
erful spray from rotating arms.
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 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.
