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 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.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face erful spray from rotating arms. The self-cleaning filtering system and removable pump guard help eliminate prerinsing by removing food particles from the

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.

To remove the pump guard for cleaning... 1. Wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down. 2. Unload and remove the bottom rack. 3. Press the outside wall of the pump guard at the centerto release the latch. 4. Lift out and rinse clean. To replace the pump guard... 1. Insert pump guard legs (on inside wall) into matching openings in filter screen. 2. Press down on outside wall until latch snaps into place. 3. Replace bottom rack with rack bumpers in tront.

Water must be hot
For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least 140°F (60°C). 1. Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until it is as hot as possible. 2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of hot water to measure the temperature. 3. If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting. 4. Your dishwasher has a HI-TEMP WASHING Option designed to help heat water. Use it when the water temperature is temporarily low. See page 8.
