FILTRATION SYSTEM
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher ltration. This triple ltration system minimizes sound and optimizes water
and energy consumption while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the Ultra Wash
®
lters will require maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
The triple ltration system consists of 2 parts – an upper lter assembly and a lower lter.
■ The upper lter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very ne food particles, out of the pump.
■ The lower lter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.

assembly
In order to provide optimum cleaning performance, we suggest monthly lter maintenance by removing and inspecting both the
upper and the lower lter for any soils. Based on your dishwashing habits, cleaning of the lters may be required more or less
often than what is indicated in the chart below.
The lters may need to be cleaned when:
■ Visible objects or soils are on the upper lter assembly.
■ There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils are still present on dishes).
■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
Removing and maintaining the lters 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 for loading.
This will also save you time and eort.
Very Hard Water
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your lter at least once per month. Buildup 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 the “Troubleshooting” section.
