Filter assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be 
cleaned. The filter efficiently 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 
filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup 
under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup 
handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly should be 

cleaned once a week. To clean the coarse filter and the micro filter, 
use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in 
the figures above and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, 

positioning in its seat and pressing downward. The dishwasher must 
never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter 

may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage 
dishes and utensils.

Filtering System

The filter is used to avoid the big remnants and other food particles 

getting inside the pump. The residue can obstruct the filter.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) and a 
micro filter (fine filter).

1 Flat filter: 

Food and debris will be trapped by a special jet on the 

lower spray arm.

2 Coarse filter: 

Big debris, such as bone and glass that could clog 

the drain will be trapped in the coarse filter.
To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the taps on the 
top of this filter and lift it out.

3 Micro filter: 

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area 

and prevents it from being  redeposit on the dishes during a cycle.
