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 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.
