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 arm&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.

Step-saving preparation for washing

It Is not necessary to rinse dishes before putflng them Into the dishwasher. Just re- move large pieces, bones, and other hard items. The POWER

CLEAN Module will remove food parti- cles from the water. It contains a chopping de- vice 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, crunch- ing or buzzing sounds. Those sounds are nor- mal when hard items enter the module. DO

NOT LET MEfAUlC ITEMS GET INTO THE POWER

CLEAN MODULE.

Hot water is a must

Check Water

Temperature

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing deter- gent. Hot water dls- solves grease on dishes and helps dry glasses spot-free.

Make certain loads are washed in hot water (at leas1140 F -

60 C). Two ways to have a reliable water supply... hot

I. Maintain 14O’F water supply at central water heater. To check water temperature,

2 turn on hot water faucet nearest the dish- washer. Let water run until it is as hot as pos- sible, then check with a candy or meat thermometer. If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting.

Use HI-TEMP WASHING Option. If water heat- ing is needed, a thermostat will delay the cycle until temperature reaches 145-F

(63 C], If water is hot enough, the cycle will proceed with no delay. This lets you turn down your water heater, if you choose, without cutting back on hot water needed for good dishwashing.

Adding detergent

The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use is an important part of getting your dishes clean. Read this section carefully.

Use automatic dlsh- washer detergent only.

Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.

Different dishwasher brands of detergent have different amounts of phosphorus. Phospho- rus softens water and helps prevent spots on dishes. water

If water is hard and phosphorus content is low (8.7% or less], you may need to use more detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus

(12% or higher). content

Do not add detergent until you are ready to wash. Fresh, dry deter- gent Is necessary for best washlng results.

Store detergent tightly in a cool, dry place.

The detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section with l a cover and one without.

Put detergent in both sections for Cycles with two washes.

Put detergent in the covered section Only for cycles with one wash. l

Push the cover down until it is latched.

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water. If too little is used, dishes won’t be clean. However, if too much is used in soft water, glassware will beginto etch.

Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water depart- ment, water softener company or county extension agent.

, l

HARD -Fill 1 or both sections to top

8 or more grains of or both sections to middle line if water is 5 to 7 grains Of l

SOFT - Fill one or both sections to bottom line if water is 0 to 4 grains of hardness.

Rinse aid dispenser

A rinse aid helps keep water from forming droplets and dry- ing as spots. Keep the dispenser filled with a rinse aid such as

Jet-Dry.” A small amount is released automatically during the final rinse1 of each cycle. Check the dispenser periodically to see if it needs refilling.

Keep the dispenser fill cap tightly closed.

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy If you:

1. Wash full loads. Running a half-fllled dish- washer uses the same amount of electrlclty and hot water as a fully loaded machine

2. Use the NORMAL WASH Cycle for normally soiled loads. It uses less hot water and en- ergy than other wash cycles.

3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid drying cycle Allow longer drying times

(overnlght).

4. load correctly for best washing results In- correct loading may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or part of the load

5. Don’t pre-rinse normally soiled dishes. Se- lect the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of detergent for good washing results without hand rinsing

6. Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours

Local utilities recommend this to ovoid heavy usage of energy at certain times of dav

Special tips on dishwasher use

Remember, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do.

Some items are not dishwasher safe or may require special care.

Aluminum:

Aluminum loses its bright, shiny appearance and darkens in color due to the minerals in the water and the alkalrn- ity of the dishwasher detergent. If washed in the dishwasher avoid placing directly in front of detergent dispenser where it could be sprinkled with undissolved detergent, causing spotting, pitting, and discoloration.

Colored

ZllUITlhlUIll: Colored aluminum may fade.

Follow utensil manufacturers’ cleaning instructions.

China:

Load carefully. Do not allow pieces to touch each other. Use the shortest washing cycle (see page9 1.

Hand-painted, metal-trimmed, and antique china may fade due to hot water and dletergent. Test one piece by washing it daily in the dishwasher for several weeks. Then compare it with the rest of the set to see if colors have changed. Delicate, antique items should be hand washed.

Crystal and glasses:

Load carefully in top rack only.

Load between prongs-not over them -to help prevent bumping and chipping. Load a few larger items in the bottom rack to reduce amount and force of water spray reaching glassware from the bot- tom spray arm

Use the shortestwashingcycle(see should be hand washed. page9). Delicate, antique items

Flatware:

Salty and acidic foods may tarnish silver and stalnless flatware If allowed to remain on the utensils. Rinse flatware as soon as possible especially if it IS not to be washed right away.

Clean tarnished items with silver polish. Antique finishes may be removed by the dishwasher detergent. Wash by hand. A film may form on sterling $ilver and silver plate items washed in a dishwasher.

This film is caused by a reaction of silver with chlorine in the deter- gent. It can be removed with silver polish. Gold flatware is not dish- washer safe

Cast iron utensils:

The seasoned finish will be re- moved in the dishwasher. Rusting will result. Wash by hand. To re-season, coat with unsalted fat and heat in a slow oven for an hour or two.

Plastics:

Place in upper rack only. Many plastics will have

“Dishwasher Safe” written on them. If in doubt, try one piece.

Non-stick finish utensils:

Most can be washed in the dishwasher. Follow manufacturers’ suggestions.

Wood:

Many wooden items will warp or lose their finish. Do not wash cutting boards. wooden salad bowls or knives with wooden handles in the dishwasher.

Pewter or pewter-like materials:

May streak, discolor, and pit. To keep pewter at its very best, hand wash with mild detergent.

Dishwasher care &cleaning:

Regular use of a soft damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent

IS all that is neces- sary, In most cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and clean Prolonged us? of hard water may cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces. If needed, clean inside with dishwasher detergent and water.

Converting to built-in

Your Whirlpool Portable Dishwasher can be converted to a burlt-in (undercounter) model by using conversion kit No. 569056. The kit is available at your Whirlpool dealer or autho- rized TECH-CARE” Service Company. Instruc- tions are included with the kit.

Caring for simulated wood top

The simulated wood top can be used as a utility work surface for most kitchen jobs. It is stronger and more easily cleaned than genu- ine wood.

The top can be used as a cutting board. Knife marks will be visible but will not seriously dam- age top. Hot items from the oven can be placed on the top.

Clean with warm, soapy water. For dried on foods, use a scouring pad.
