CARE AND MAINTENANCE

FILTER SYSTEM
The filters prevent food remnants and other objects from getting inside
the pump. The filter system consists of three parts (Refer to Figure 11): a
Coarse filter (a), a Fine filter (b), and a Main filter (c).
a. Coarse Filter: Larger items that could block the drain are trapped
in the coarse filter. To remove items caught by the coarse filter,
first remove the Fine Filter (b), then turn it upside down and
gently push on the bottom of the Coarse Filter (a) until it is
released. (Refer to Figure 12.) Carefully empty filter and replace
into position once clean.
NOTE: The Coarse Filter (a) should ONLY be removed if large,
potentially hazardous items are trapped. If food particles or
residue are trapped, please refer to Fine Filter (b) below.
b. Fine Filter: This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area
and prevents it from being deposited onto dishes during the wash
cycle. To remove items caught by this filter, please see section
entitled "Filter Assembly System" below.
c. Main Filter: Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are
pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to
drain.
CLEANING THE FILTER SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
For best performance and results, the filter must be cleaned regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove
the larger food particles trapped in the filters after each wash cycle by rinsing the filters under running water.
NOTE: The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week
WARNING: Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
1. Rotate the filter assembly (Figure 13, a, b and c) counterclockwise, then lift upward.
2. Remove the fine filter (Figure 13, b) and coarse filter (Figure 13, a) by carefully pushing up on the fine filter
from the bottom of the main filter (Figure 13, c).
NOTE: When separating the filters, only push on the hard plastic on the bottom of the assembly. DO
NOT apply pressure to the screen.
3. Remove coarse filter (Figure 13, a) from fine filter (Figure 13, b) by pushing up from the bottom on the tabs
holding it to the fine filter.
