Filtration System
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and
energy conservation while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require
maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare your dishes. This
will also save you time and effort.
Very Hard Water
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least
once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher
indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
“Troubleshooting” section.
Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they
may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If you
have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a
soft brush may be required.
The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper
filter assembly and a lower filter.
■
The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items
and foreign objects, along with very fine food
particles, out of the pump.
■
The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated
onto your dishware.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■
Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter
Assembly.
■
There is degradation in cleaning performance (that
is, soils still present on dishes).
■
Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The
chart below shows the recommended cleaning
frequency.
