CLEANING THE FILTERS
Filtering system
For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and fi ltering
system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three components
of the fi ltering system: the main fi lter, the coarse fi lter, and the fi ne fi lter.
1.
Main fi lter
: Food and soil particles trapped by this fi lter are
pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed
down the drain.
2.
Coarse fi lter
: Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that
could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse fi lter. To remove an
item caught in this fi lter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this fi lter
and lift it out.
3.
Fine fi lter
: This fi lter holds soil and food residue in the sump area
and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a
cycle.
ATTENTION
: Do not put the fi ne fi lter upside down.
Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the fi lter assembly must be cleaned. The fi lter effi ciently
removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For
this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the fi lter after each
wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular fi lter and cup under running water. To remove the fi lter
assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire fi lter assembly should be
cleaned once a week.
To clean the coarse fi lter and the fi ne fi lter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the fi lter parts
as shown in the fi gures left and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its
seat and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must never be used without the fi lters. Improper replacement of the fi lter may
reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
WARNING
: Never run the dishwasher without the fi lters in place. When cleaning the
fi lters, don’t knock on them. Otherwise, the fi lters could be contorted and the performance
of dishwasher could be debased.
