Cleaning the Filters
1
Remove the lower rack and position the bottom
spray arm so a wider vee is open to the front.
2
Turn the inner filter counter-clockwise and take
out the assembled inner filter and stainless
steel filter.
With the filters removed, check the sump
opening and remove any foreign materials, if
needed.
3
Clean the filters with a soft brush under running
water. Reassemble the filters before reinstalling
them.
4
To replace the assembled filters, position
the spray arm so the wider vee is toward the
front. Fit the filters back into the filter holder
and secure them by turning the inner filter
clockwise until it clicks into place.
WARNING
• Be cautious of sharp edges when handling the
stainless steel filter.
CAUTION
• Remove food residue caught in filters to prevent
the build up of odor-causing bacteria and
possible drainage problems.
NOTE
• For best wash performance, clean the filter after
each load. If food debris remains in the filter, it may
cause an odor.
• In areas with hard water, clean the filter at least
once a month with a soft brush.
• Clean the filters using non-abrasive materials and
warm running water.
• Make sure the filter is assembled correctly before
starting a cycle. When assembling, rotate it firmly
until it clicks.
