For Best Results
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mix-
ture 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 filter system which re-
moves food and soil, and pumped back
through the rotating spray arms. Soiled water
bspumped out and replaced with clean water
during a cycie-the number of times depends
on the cycle oeing used.
The self-cleaning filtering system and
removable pump guard help eliminate pre-
rinsing by removing food particles from the
water.
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

the heating element to cool down.

erful spray from rotating arms.
