Maintenance

Your new dishwasher is designed to give you years of
dependable service. In order to maintain a high level of
performance, you need to make sure your dishwasher is
properly cared for and cleaned. Here are a few things you can
do to make sure your dishwasher performs at its highest level.

Filter
Filters
The filters are important, because they continuously filter wash
water. Under normal operation, the filters are self cleaning and
require no maintenance. If there is a lot of sediment or hard
water conditions, it may be necessary to clean the filters
periodically. To clean, remove the filters as shown in the above
illustration and soak overnight in a 50/50 solution of water and
vinegar. Citric cleaner and water are also acceptable. Filters
should appear bright when clean.
The Coarse Strainer
Large food particles that can't pass through the drainage pump
are collected in the coarse strainer. Lift out and empty the
coarse strainer when necessary. Don't forget to put it back
again. It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the
coarse strainer area.
WARNING
Never operate the dishwasher without the filters in place.
