. CLEAN UP UPDATES.. REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS As stock runs out, original dishwasher replacement parts will sub to a kit that has the newer RAST connector style component, one of these jumpers and an instruction sheet. They will be included with the Water Inlet Valve, Turbo Zone Wax Motor, Optical Water Indicator, Vent Wax Motor and the Drain Motor. PRE-WASHING DISHES Customers who pre-wash their dishes and use the Normal Cycle could be getting poor results. If the customer pre-rinses her dishes, selects the NORMAL CYCLE and chooses to use no OPTIONS, then the OWI will sense a low soil situation and choose to use the PRE-WASH water for WASH. If that first fill is at 119 F or higher, it will not add heat. A 119 F first fill is not sufficient to activate dishwashing detergent. Have the customer select the HI-TEMP option to improve results. 29 Continued next page
