How the Soil Settler System works
Your dishwasher is equipped with a Soil Settler system
I_1. This system cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean
water and detergent against soiled dishes. When a cycle is
started, the dishwasher fills with water to a level near the
bottom of the overfill protector. This water is pumped
through the rotating spray tower and spray arm, circulated
through the filter system which collects food and soil, and
pumped back through the rotating spray tower and spray
arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean
water during a cycle - the number of times depends on the
cycle being used.
To clean the Soil Settler filter screen:
1. Wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating
element to cool down.
2. Unload and slide the bottom rack forward. (Remove
bottom rack if necessary to reach filter screen.)
3. Remove collected particles from the screen with your
fingers or a paper towel I'_1.
4. Return the bottom rack to its original position.
