Your dishwasher has the 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 two 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.

*Scrape excess food into the trash or food disposer prior to loading the dishwasher. 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.
