ULTRACLEANTMFILTRATION SYSTEM
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 upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food particles out of the pump.
• The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.

Lower Filter
In order to provide improved cleaning performance we suggest a monthly filter maintenance by removing and inspecting both the
upper and the lower filter for any soils. Based on your dishwashing habits, cleaning of the filters may be 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 gritty to the touch.
Removing and maintaining the filters is very easy. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

*This is the manufacturer's recommendation: By only scraping your dishes before loading them you save considerable water, energy,
personal 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 your water samples to Sears to check hardness level. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
"Troubleshooting" section.
