(1) Coarse filter: Larger items (pieces
of glass or bone) that could block
the drain are trapped in this filter.
(2) Main filter: Food and soil particles
trapped by this filter are pulverized
by a special jet on the spray arm and
washed down the drain.
(3) Fine filter: This filter holds soil and
food residue in the sump area and
prevents it from being redeposited on
the dishes during the wash cycle.

Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the Dishwasher
Spray Arm
It is necessary to clean the Spray Arm on a regular basis to prevent obstructions in
the spray jets, which would decrease the efficiency.
To remove the spray arm, lift straight up. Wash in warm, soapy water and clean
spray jets with a soft bristle brush.
Control Panel and Exterior
The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth and drying
thoroughly. To clean the exterior, use appliance polishing wax.
NEVER use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the
dishwasher. Abrasive agents should be avoided so as not to scratch or damage the
surface of the appliance.
Door Seal
One factor that causes odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped
in the seal. Periodic cleaning will prevent this from occurring.
To clean the edge around the door, you should only use a soft, warm damp cloth. To
avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do NOT use
a spray cleaner of any kind.
WARNING: NEVER use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel or seal as it
may damage the door lock and electrical components.
