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 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 prerinsing by removing food particles from the
water.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face powerful spray from rotating arms.

putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove
large pieces and quantities of food and bones.

out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed
away as water is pumped out. Larger particles
are trapped in the pump guard.
