Ultra Wash® Filtration System - Sears Kenmore Elite 665.13185 Series Use & Care Manual

ULTRA WASH®HE FILTRATION SYSTEM
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and
energy consumption 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.
Removing and maintaining the filters is very easy. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will eliminate the water and energy that you use preparing your dishes.
This will also save you time and effort.
Very Hard Water
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher
indicates hard water. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
"Troubleshooting" section.
