5. Replace the track stops by coming up from under the track
and slipping the lower tab of the track stop into the lower slot
of the track (see Track stop – right) and rotate the track stop
into place. Then press on the edge of the ridged area while
pushing the track stop straight toward the track. This action
locks the retaining tab back into place.

6. Test the track stop by pulling it toward the opposite track to
ensure that it is locked in place.
To replace the rack:
1. Gently pull the tracks forward in the dishwasher until they
stop. Remove track stops. See steps 1 through 3 above.
2. Place the back wheels on each side of the rack into the track
and roll the rack into the tracks, but do not push the rack all
the way into the tub.
3. Insert front rack wheels on each side of the rack into the track.
4. Slide the rack into the dishwasher.
5. Replace the track stops. See steps 5 and 6 above.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the track stops are locked in
place and cannot be easily removed. They keep the rack
from coming out of the track.
Filtration System
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and
energy conservation while providing superior cleaning.
The filter system consists of two parts, an upper filter assembly and a lower filter.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher
without filters properly installed. Be sure lower filter is securely in place and upper
filter assembly is locked into place. If upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked
into place.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■
Visible objects or soils are on the upper filter assembly.
■
Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

*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 filter 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.
Filter Removal Instructions
