Filtration System - IKEA Betrodd Manuel D'instructions

CONTROLS AND CYCLE STATUS
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 2 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.
Number of Loads Per Week
8–12
4–7
1–3
*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.
Filter Removal Instructions
1. Turn the upper filter assembly 1/4 turn counterclockwise
and lift out.

2. Separate the upper filter assembly by gently pulling apart.
3. Clean the filters as shown.
The display allows you to follow the progress of the dishwasher cycle.
Indicators will glow for Washing, Drying, Clean and Sanitized.
If you select Sani Rinse option, when cycle is finished, the "Sanitized" indicator glows. If your dishwasher
did not properly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle
is interrupted or water could not be heated to required temperature. The light goes off when you open and
close door or press Cancel.
The exterior status light (on some models) on the front of the door panel will glow blue when washing,
red while it is drying, and white when the cycle is complete.

Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they
may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed.
If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from
hard water, a soft brush may be required.
Filter Reinstallation Instructions
1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the lower filter under
the locating tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher, so the
round opening for the upper filter assembly lines up with
the round opening in the bottom of the tub.
