USING THE DISHWASHER
Cleaning the Filters
Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should
be done every month. If there is a decrease in wash
performance or dishes feel gritty, this is also an
indication the filters need to be cleaned.
To clean the filters, remove the bottom rack. Lift out the
main filter and cup assembly. Lift out the fine filter.

water. Scouring pads or brushes can scratch the filter
surface but a soft brush or sponge may be needed to
remove stubborn soils or calcium deposits caused by
hard water.
Once cleaned replace the fine filter followed by the cup
and main filter assembly. Be sure to press them in place
as improper replacement of the filter may reduce the
performance level of the appliance.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
Because hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm
jets and bearings, it is necessary to clean the spray arms
regularly. To remove the spray arm, twist the retaining
nut 90 degrees and pull the spray arm off the shaft.
Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a soft

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
An air gap protects your dishwasher
against water backing up into it if a drain
clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered by your
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require
air gaps, so you may not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean.

Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.
