Filtration System
Your dishwasher has latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy
conservation while providing superior cleaning.
The filter system consists of 2 parts an upper filter assembly and a lower filter.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher
without filters properly installed. Be sure lower filter is securely in place and upper
filter assembly is locked into place. If upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked
into place.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■ Visible objects or soils are on the upper filter assembly.
■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.
RECOMMENDED TIME INTERVAL TO CLEAN YOUR FILTER
Number of Loads Per Week If you only scrape
before loading*
If you scrape and rinse
before loading
If you wash before loading
8–12 Every 2 months Every 4 months Once per year
4–7 Every 4 months Once per year Once per year

*We recommend this practice because it will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare 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. Buildup of white residue on your dishwasher
indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
the “Troubleshooting” section.

3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place.
Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the
filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the
filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.
NOTE: The upper filter assembly arrow does not have to align
with the arrow in the lower filter as long as the filter is locked.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate
your dishwasher without the filters properly installed. Be sure the
lower filter is securely in place and the upper filter assembly is
locked into place. If the upper filter assembly turns freely, it is not
locked into place.
