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 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 re-
moves 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

erful spray from rotating arms.
