Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water and detergent agCIinSt 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, drained through the filtersystem which removes food and soil, and pumped 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 self-cleaning filtering system and

removable pump guard help eliminate pre- rlnslng by removing food particles from the water.
