THE WASH SYSTEM
The wash system provides excellent cleaning
results. Two levels of filtration filter the wash
water and prevent food particles from redepos-
iting on the clean dishes.
• A filter plate prevents bones, pits, and other
large objects from entering the pump sys-
tem.
• Items small enough to pass through the filter
plate are caught in the drain filter.
• The wash water continuously flows through
the drain filter, trapping food particles.
IMPORTANT: Before each wash load, check
the drain filter for evidence of food particles and
clean. (A small amount of water will remain in
the drain filter area.) The filter plate is designed
to be self-cleaning, but food scraps may accu-
mulate. The spray arm and filter plate may
need cleaning about once a month in normal
use or more often, should the need arise.
