Service Company cIna -relepnone r4umDer 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. 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.
