Clarification request(s) and response
xxxA-Z Trans (asker): 08:40 Dec 16, 2004: could it be the top arm? - i.e. something like "top wash"? water from above? i.e. downward jets.
Vittorio Preite: 08:43 Dec 16, 2004: i do no think so. this gives the impresion of wanting to wash the inside top on the dishwasher not the bottom. -
xxxA-Z Trans (asker): 13:45 Dec 16, 2004: domestic I believe - I am checking the terminology on the Web, I have not been supplied with a glossary :(
a lot has been published already, cannot find this one though.
I have queried the client, will let you know (hopefully).

xxxA-Z Trans (asker): 13:49 Dec 16, 2004: Why "lavaggio", and not "cielo"? - (not a question, just wondering..)
Vittorio Preite: 14:22 Dec 16, 2004: Dishwashers do not have a "sky". Even the italian "cielo" is stretcing the meaning a bit. I am fairly sure of my first answer. But wait for the manufacturers clarification. -
xxxA-Z Trans (asker): 19:32 Dec 16, 2004: no doubt cielo = top fondo=bottom - client has confirmed upward jets

upward jets
Explanation:
I am suggesting the effect of this washing function; in Italian it says literally "sky wash". They are the jets on the revolving arm inside a dish washer, but they could be fixed (on an industrial model)

top washing


Explanation:
as for the second term, perhaps transverse spray jets.

This is a dishwasher (domestic or catering or industrial ???), and it is important to know this. Even if this is a new model, the company should have a glossary of terms or at least a user manual available for other machines. Every company has its own terminology and this should be used and stored for future reference.

I will add a note as I don\'t know how to add a comment up top. This is for vittorio. Cielo and fondo are terms used to indicate top and bottom, especially in more industrial contexts such as cleaning procedures for oil-containing vessels etc. I am very sure that Cielo means top. Try doing a word search for lavaggio cielo
