Dishwasher Features
Your dishwasher, illustrated below, cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water, and detergent against
the soiled surfaces of your dishes and tableware. Each cycle starts with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher
fills with water to a level even with the heating element. This water is constantly pumped through the rotating
spray arm and center wash tower and sprayed onto the dishes. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced
with clean water during a cycle. The number of water fills depends upon the cycle being used.

Water Heat Option
When WATER HEAT option is selected, the
heating element in bottom of tub will raise the
main wash water temperature to approximately
140°F. Wash action will continue but timer will not
advance until this water temperature has been
reached. The hotter water provided by this option

temperature reaches 140°F. To turn off option
