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
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.

food
particles
from
the water,
stores
them,
then
washes
them down
the drain.

surfaces
