Cleaning intervals
The filter system
1b
is designed to
minimize maintenance while
providing premium cleaning
performance and minimum energy
consumption.
Depending on use habits and water
hardness, the filter system will require
some maintenance to sustain
premium cleaning performance.
Your filter system may need to be
cleaned when:
■
You notice food soils remaining
on the filter system or objects
trapped in the Large Object Trap.
■
A drop in cleaning performance
or a gritty film forms on the
dishware.
When washing normally attached
food soils that have been scraped
before loading, in a household that
runs the dishwasher every other day,
your filter should be cleaned:
Note:
Clean the filter after washing
loads with large amounts of food
soils or loads with a heavy starch
content, like potatoes and pasta, to
maintain optimal performance.
To check or clean the filter system:
1.
Unscrew the Large Object Trap as
illustrated and remove the entire
filter system.
2.
Remove the microfilter from the
fine filter for easier cleaning.
3.
Rinse the filters under running
water and use a soft brush to
clean.
Note:
do not use abrasive
brushes or steel wool, etc., as
they may damage the filter.
4.
Reinstall the filter system in
reverse sequence and lock into
place by screwing the Large
Object Trap until the marking
arrows align.
