ULTRACLEANTM FILTRATIONSYSTEM
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water
and energy consumption while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require
maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter assembly and a lower filter.
•
The upperfilter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with veryfine food particles outofthe pump.
•
Thelowerfilter keepsfoodfrom being recirculated ontoyourdishware.
In order to provide optimum cleaning performance we suggest a monthly filter maintenance by removing and inspecting both the
upper and the Iowerfilterfor anysoils. Based on yourdishwashing habits, cleaning of the filters maybe required more or less often
than what is indicated in the chart below.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
•
Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly.
•
There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still present on dishes).
•
Dishes feel grittyto the touch.
Removing and maintaining the filters 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. 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 dishwasher surfaces
indicates hard water. You may bring yourwater samples to Sears to check hardness level. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
"Troubleshooting" section.
