Dishwasher Features Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Very Important Information-Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher! Normal Operating Sounds This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers-IT'S QUIETER. Your Precision Direct Wash System® dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may-or may not-hear the drain motor. The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as it enters the tub. Then the lower arm rotates and circulates water. This is followed by a pause and a slightly different sound as the upper arms spray water. If you listen closely, you will hear the change in sound as the wash action switches from one arm to the other. PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T hear! Getting Started 1. Load dishwasher 2. Add detergent 3. Add rinse aid, if needed 4.
