Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms

against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre-drain. 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.
