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 waterto 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

is pumped out and replaced with clean water during the cycle.

matching openings in filter screen.

2. Press down on outside wall until latch snaps

into place.
