Filters
®
The Bosch filter system is designed
to prevent the need to pre-rinse
normally attached food soils from
your dishes. Simply scrape leftover
food soils off of dishware before
loading. This process will conserve
time, water and the energy require to
heat your household water supply.
Your dishwasher filter system is
designed to filter 100% of the water
entering the spray arms to provide a
continuous supply of clean water to
remove food soils from your
dishware.
Filter components
The filter system consists of three
parts.
Care and Maintenance en-us
A Large Object Trap
Prevents objects that should not
be placed in your dishwasher
from damaging the dishwasher
pump system or clogging your
household drain.
B Flat Fine Filter
Prevents food particles from
entering the wash chamber and
directs particles toward the micro
filter.
C Micro Filter
Directs the smallest of particles
to the household plumbing drain.
Cleaning intervals
The filter system is designed to
minimize maintenance and reduce
noise while providing premium
cleaning performance and minimum
energy consumption.
Depending on use habits and water
hardness, the filter system will require
some maintenance to sustain
premium cleaning performance.
Your filter system may need to be
cleaned when:
You notice food soils remaining
■
on the filter system or objects
trapped in the Large Object Trap.
A drop in cleaning performance
■
or a gritty film forms on the
dishware.
