ULTRA WASH*Soil
RemovalSystem
The ULTRA WASH soil removal system gives you sparkling
clean dishes, while using less energy and time. The ULTRA
WASH soil removal system includes:
• A heavy-duty grinder that acts as a food disposer to
grind and dispose of large food particles.
• An ULTRA WASH sensor to monitor soil level and
adjust the cycles as needed.
• An Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) that ensures
the proper water temperature for the selected wash
cycle, and soil level of the load.
How the ULTRA WASH soil removal system
works:
1. Load the dishwasher. Remove bones, large chunks or
burned-on food. No rinsing is necessary. Any remaining
food soil will be ground up and disposed down the
drain with the rinse water.
2. Hot water fills the dishwasher to a level near the bottom
of the overfill protection float.
3. The Water Heating indicator glows, and the dishwasher
pauses while the water is heated.
4. When the water reaches the proper temperature, the
Water Heating indicator turns off and the cycle
resumes.
5. Detergent from the detergent dispenser is dispensed at
the correct cycle times and hot water is pumped
through the ULTRA WASH pump.
6. Hot water and detergent sprays against the soiled
surfaces of the load and removes food particles.
7. Food soil is held in an accumulating chamber.
8. Food soil is disposed down the drain with the wash
water.
9. Fresh, hot water enters the dishwasher and sprays on
the dishes. The rinse water is then pumped through the
ULTRA WASH soil removal system and remaining soil is
removed.
1O.The food soil that is held in the ULTRA WASH soil
removal system is disposed down the drain with the
rinse water.
11.The final rinse water is heated. The rinse aid is added to
the water for the final rinse to prepare the dishes for
drying,
How the ULTRA WASH Sensor and the
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) work:
1. The SENSING indicator glows when the ULTRA WASH
Sensor is measuring the amount of soil in the
dishwasher.
2,
3.
After the soil level is determined, unnecessary portions
of the cycle are skipped.
The ATC adjusts the water temperature throughout the
cycle depending upon the soil level detected. Higher
water temperatures are used to improve cleaning with
heavier soiled loads.
