the washing arms. The jets of water reach the dishes from different directions in order to guarantee a uniform
wash.

dishes into the wash tub. If the machine has a drainage pump, part of the water is drained from the tank and
replaced by clean rinsing water.
Lastly, the dishes are rinsed with mains water heated to between 80 ºC - 85 ºC / 76 ºF - 85
