CARE AND CLEANING
FILTERS
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.
The retaining posts can be a choke hazard for small children if removed from the dishwasher.
WARNING
Keep out of reach of children.
Ultra-Fine Filter Assembly
To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly, remove the bottom
rack. Twist the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly counterclockwise
and lift to remove for cleaning. Rinse filter with warm soapy
water and use a sponge to carefully remove any stubborn
particles.
For models with a 2-piece Ultra-Fine Filter assembly with
an additional Filter Basket for food particles, twist the Filter
Basket in the counterclockwise direction to unlock it from
the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly. See directional arrows on
the bottom of the Filter Basket. Pull the Filter Basket to
remove from the assembly, throw away any food particles,
rinse with warm soapy water, and use a sponge to remove
any stubborn particles.

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.
