This dishwasher has a filter system that consists of a Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter
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.

object trap could contain sharp objects.
