FEATURES AT A GLANCE Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water fills vary with the cycle being used. Features may vary according to model Nozzle or Spray Arm Top Rack Middle Spray Arm Serial Label (Located on Right) Lower Spray Arm Overfill Protector Rinse Aid Detergent Dispenser Lower Rack Silverware Basket Glass Trap Heating Element Getting Started 1.
