The Wash
Filters
14
In addition to the glass trap, your dishwasher
has three fine filters—
• a two-piece round perforated plastic filter
located in the base of the dishwasher.
• a finer micro-mesh filter located under the
plastic filter.
• a super-fine filter located below the lower
spray arm.
Remove the plastic filter by first twisting and
removing the glass trap. Lift out the plastic
filter.
Attached to the underside of this filter is the
micro-mesh filter. To remove the micro-mesh
filter, squeeze the two clips above the plastic
filter to release the micro-mesh.
To remove the super-fine filter, remove the
lower spray arm. Grasp the super-fine filter
around the outer edges. Remove by pulling
upwards, it will unclip. Unscrew the tower
counterclockwise. The right half of the plastic
filter can now be removed.
To clean filters, place under running water
and gently brush with a soft bristled brush.
Be careful not to deform filters while cleaning,
since this may prevent them from being
properly re-installed.
The super-fine filter is self-cleaning; there is
no need to clean it. This filter need only be
removed if you want to remove the right half
of the plastic filter.
Replace your filters in the reverse order,
starting with the right half of the plastic filter.
Then screw in the tower. Replace the super-fine
filter over the tower by pressing firmly on the
outer edge until it clips into place and
reposition the lower spray arm. Reconnect the
micro-mesh filter to the left half of the plastic
filter prior to replacing it back into the
dishwasher. Then replace the glass trap. Ensure
that all filters are replaced correctly for best
results.
