Filtration System - KitchenAid KDTE104DSS User Instructions

Culinary Tool Rack (3rd level rack)
The culinary tool rack is designed with 2 movable baskets
to hold extra silverware, knives, and cooking utensils.
Install the baskets in this Up position when you have extra
silverware and flatware to wash.
Install the baskets in this down position when you have extra
silverware, knives, or utensils requiring more room to wash.
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water
and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require
maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter
assembly and a lower filter.
■
The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and
foreign objects, along with very fine food particles, out
of the pump.
■
The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto
your dishware.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■
Visible objects or soils are on the upper filter assembly.
■ There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is,
soils still present on dishes).
■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
