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 dlshwasher fills with water to about
the level of the heating element. This water IS
pumped through the rotating spray arms,
drained through the filter system which removes food and solI, and pumped back
through the rotating spray arms. Soiled water
IS pumped out and replaced with clean water
during a cycie - the number of times depends
on the cycle being used
If-cleaning filtering system and
removable pump guard help eliminate prerinsing by removing food particles from the
The filtering system
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove
large pieces and quantities of food and bones.
The filtering system helps keep food particles
out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed
away as water is pumped out. Larger particles
are trapped in the pump guard
To remove the pump guard for cleaning

the heating element to cool down.
2. Unload and remove the bottom rack.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face powerful spray from rotating arms.
3. Press the outside wall of the pump guard at
the centerto release the latch.
4. Lift out and rinse clean.
To replace the pump guard...
1. Insert pump guard legs (on inside wall) into
matching openings in filter screen.
2. Press down on outside wall until latch snaps
into place
3. Replace bottom rack with rack bumpers in
front.
Water must be hot
For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least
140°F (60°C).

until it is as hot as possible.
