For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three

components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine filter.

Fine filter

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being

redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.

Main filter

Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray

arm and washed down the drain.

spray arm, screw off the nut to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy and warm

water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

Filter assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be

recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger

food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular

filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup

handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at least

once a month.

To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble

the filter parts as shown in the figures left and reinsert the entire assembly in the

dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.

The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the

filter ma

Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the
