CLEANING THE FILTERS
Filtering system
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.
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.
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.
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.
: Do not put the fine filter upside down.
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 t he 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 t he 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.
WARNING : Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. When cleaning the
filters, don’t knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance
of dishwasher could be debased.
