Filtering System; Protect Against Freezing; Cleaning Spray Arms/Filters - Whirlpool ADP6000WH Instruction Manual

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three
components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine filter.
ATTENTION: Do not put the fine filter upside down
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1
Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water
inlet pipe from the water valve.
3
Drain water from the inlet pipe
(Use a pan to catch the water.)
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
1
Main filter
Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray
arm and washed down the drain.
2
Coarse filter
Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the
coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this
filter and lift it out.
3
Fine filter
This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being
redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.

and water valve.
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the
spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the spray arm, screw off the nut to take out the
washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy and warm
water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.
Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be
recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger
food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular
filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup
handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned
once a week.
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble
the filter parts as shown in the figures left and reinsert the entire assembly in the
dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the
filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
