Filtration System
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher
fi
ltration. This
fi
ltration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and
energy conservation while providing superior cleaning.
The
fi
lter system consists of two parts, an upper
fi
lter assembly and a lower
fi
lter.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher
without
fi
lters properly installed. Be sure lower
fi
lter is securely in place and upper
fi
lter assembly is locked into place. If upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked
into place.
The
fi
lters may need to be cleaned when:
■
Visible objects or soils are on the upper
fi
lter assembly.
■
Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

*Scrape excess food into the trash or food disposer prior to loading the dishwasher. We recommend this practice because it 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
fi
lter at least
once per month. Buildup of white residue on your dishwasher
indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
the “Troubleshooting” section.

lter assembly a quarter turn counterclockwise
