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 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-
rinsing
by removing
food
particles
from the
water.
Load dishes so soiled
surfaces
face
pow-
erful spray
from rotating
arms.
