You run it to force the particles into the holes and also they pull out easier when wet. Then give it another minute of run time and do this again until all the holes are clear. This is very tedious but I have not had much luck trying to remove the wash arms and flushing them out under a tap. Only seem to be able to get large chunks out. You put it back together and find that most of the holes just clog up again on the first run.
