Filtration System
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water
and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require
maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter assembly
and a lower filter.
■
The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign
objects, along with very fine food particles, out of the pump.
■
The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your
dishware.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■
Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly.
■
There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still
present on dishes).
■
Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below
shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

*Manufacturer’s recommendation: This practice will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare your dishes.
This will also save you time and effort.
Very Hard Water
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least
once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher
indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
“Troubleshooting” section.
