Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This
should be done every other month or more
depending on usage. If there is a decrease in
wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is
also an indication the filters need to be cleaned.
Ultra-Fine Filter
To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter, remove the bottom
rack. Twist the Ultra-Fine Filter counterclockwise
and lift to remove. Rinse filter with warm soapy
water and use a sponge to carefully remove any
stubborn particles. Scrubbing with scouring pads
or brushes can damage the filter. Once cleaned,
replace the Ultra-Fine Filter, and twist it clockwise
to lock in place.
Fine Filter
To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the
bottom rack. Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter.
Twist each of the two retaining posts located toward
the back bottom of the tub counterclockwise, and
remove the Fine Filter. Rinse filter with warm
soapy 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 and the Ultra-Fine Filter.
Twist the two retaining posts clockwise to lock
in place.
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.
1
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap
cover.
2
Remove the plastic cap under the cover and
clean with a toothpick.
3
Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is
clean.
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place
during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1
Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher.
Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.
2
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the
water inlet line from the water valve.
3
Drain water from the water inlet line and
water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4
Reconnect the water inlet line to the water
valve.
Check the air gap
any time your
dishwasher isn’t
draining well.
