Proper Loading
Cup
and glass load
Mixed load
Preparation for loading
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
particles from the water. It contains a chopping
device 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 buzz-
ing 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.
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are
reached by spray from rotating spray arms. Water
must be able to drain off completely for best drying
results. Be careful to separate items so spray can
.reach all surfaces.
