assembly and a Fine Filter. Select models have an additional Micro Filter. The filter
system is located on the inside of your dishwasher under the lower rack and is easily
accessible.
During normal use, the filter system is self-cleaning. You should occasionally inspect it
for foreign objects and clean it when necessary.
