40 MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Filters
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.
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.
1
Remove the lower rack and position the
bottom spray arm so a wider vee is open to
the front.
2
Turn the inner filter counter-clockwise and
take out the assembled inner filter and
stainless steel filter.
With the filters removed, check the sump
opening and remove any foreign materials, if
needed.
3
Clean the filters with a soft brush under
running water. Reassemble the filters before
reinstalling them.
4
To replace the assembled filters, position the
spray arm so the wider vee is toward the
front. Fit the filters back into the filter holder
and secure them by turning the inner filter
clockwise until it clicks into place.
NOTE
• Make sure the filter is assembled correctly
before starting a cycle. When assembling, rotate
the filter firmly until it clicks.
Cleaning the Spray Arm
If the spray arm holes are blocked by any food
residue, dishes may not be cleaned well due to
improper water spray.
It is recommended that the spray arms be cleaned
once every two weeks.
Cleaning the Lower Spray Arm
1
Make sure that the water jet holes are not
blocked by food particles.
2
If any food residue blocks the spray arm
holes, remove it with a pin or any sharp tool.
