is
started, the dishwasher
fills with water to about
the level of the heating
element.

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

out and
replaced
with clean
water

a
cycle
- the number
of times depends
on the
cycle
being
used.

erful spray

preparation
for washing
It is not necessary
to rinse dishes
before
putting

cles from the water. It contains
a chopping
de-
vice which will reduce
the size of food items.

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

water
run until it is as hot as possible,
then

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

145°F (63;C).
If

the cycle

with no delay.

load items are secured
in the rack.

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

fer through
