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 wrth 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
is pumped out and replaced with clean water
during a cycle-the number of times depends
on the cycle being used.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow-
erful spray from rotating arms.
