How the wash system works
1.Load the dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
2.Hot water enters the dishwasher and covers the filter.
3.Detergent is dispensed at the appropriate time and mixed with the hot water. This mixture is pumped through the lower spray arm and sprays against the soiled surfaces of the dishes to remove food particles.
4.Water passes through the fine mesh primary filter where food soil is removed and the clean water is then recirculated.
5.Ports under the lower wash arm direct the food soil through a secondary filter into a collection chamber.
6.Food soil is held in the collection chamber until it is flushed away during the drain cycle.
7.Clean, hot water enters the dishwasher and the sequence is repeated.
8.Beginning with the third water fill, the wash action switches between the lower spray arm and middle spray arm in 90 second intervals. You may notice
a change in sound as the wash action pauses and switches to the other arm.
9.The dishwasher may pause during the cycle while water is being heated. Wash action will continue during this time.
10.Rinse aid is automatically dispensed in the final rinse to aid in drying.
