The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter removing food and soiled particles and pumped back through the spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle (how many times depends on the cycle being used). nOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely affect washability performance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to "Lime" (white film substance) deposits and/or "Scaling" on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen. To minimise these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar (at least once a week). Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to: Remove coarse food remains, e. Soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom then load them into the basket. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the basket. WARNINGS: Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct The rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the Opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
