Dishwasher Filter Maintenance

• The dishwasher has latest technology in dishwasher filtration that minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning.

• The filter system consists of 2 parts an upper filter assembly and a lower filter.

• To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without filters properly installed.

• Be sure the lower filter is securely in place and the upper filter assembly is locked into place. If the upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

• The filters may need to be cleaned when: Visible objects or soils are on the upper filter assembly. Dishes feel gritty to the touch. It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters.

• The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

• If you only scrape before loading* or scrape and rinse before loading, the filters may need to be cleaned every 2 months.

• If you wash before loading, the filters may need to be cleaned every 4 months.

• If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month.

• If buildup of white residue on your dishwasher indicates hard water, clean the filters at least once per month.

• Filter Removal Instructions:

1. Turn the upper filter assembly ¼ turn counterclockwise and lift out.

2. Separate the upper filter assembly by gently pulling apart.

3. Clean the filters as shown.

4. If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush may be required.

5. Filter Reinstallation Instructions:

Noting the previous illustrations, place the lower filter under the locating tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher, so the round opening for the upper filter assembly lines up with the round opening in the bottom of the tub.

6. Insert the upper filter assembly into the circular opening in the lower filter.

7. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place.

8. Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place.

9. If the filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.

10. The upper filter assembly arrow does not have to align with the arrow in the lower filter as long as the filter is locked.
