For best results
Your dishwasher
cleans
by spraying
a mixture
of hot, clean
water and detergent
against
soiled surfaces
of dishes. When a cycle
is started, the dishwasher
fills with water to a level
slightly
above
the heating
element.
This water
is constantly
pumped
through
the rotating
spray arm and center wash tower onto the dishes. Soiled water is pumped
out and replaced
with clean
water during
a cycle.
The number
of times depends
on the cycle
being
used.
Loud dishes
so soiled
surfaces
face
the powerful
spray
from rotating
arm and center
wash tower.

to rinse dishes
before
putting
them into the
dishwasher.

of food

be difficult
