Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water and detergent against sorled surfaces of dishes, When a cycle ISstarted, the drshwasher 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 wrth 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- rinsing by removing food particles from the water.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow- erful spray from rotating arms.
