Dishwasher Efficiency Tips - Kenmore 722.1435 Series Use & Care Manual

Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: Clean the filters with a soft brush under running water.
Rinse filter under running water until most soil is removed.
A soft brush may be required to get off hard to remove soil.
Filter Reinstallation Instructions
1. To replace the assembled filters, position the spray arm so the wider vee is toward the front.
2. Fit the filters back into the filter holder and secure them by turning the inner filter
clockwise until it clicks into place.
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.
WARNING: Be cautious of sharp edges when handling the stainless steel filter.
CAUTION: Remove food residue caught in filters to prevent the buildup of odor-causing bacteria and possible drainage
problems.
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free. For best results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water
temperature is too low.
■ To save water, energy and time, only scrape dishes. Do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
■ Use a delay feature to run the dishwasher during off-peak hours. Contact your local utility for information on peak usage
times, and avoid running the dishwasher during those times.
■ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
■ Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
