Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every month or more depending on
usage. If there is a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is also an indication the
Assembly
filters need to be cleaned.
To clean the filter assembly, remove the bottom
rack and lower spray arm. Twist the filter
assembly counterclockwise and lift to remove.
Remove the filter plate.
Rinse the filters with warm soapy water.
Scouring pads or brushes can scratch the filter
surfaces but a soft brush or sponge may be
needed to remove stubborn soils or calcium
deposits caused by hard water.
Once cleaned, replace the filter plate, insert
the filter assembly through the plate and twist it
clockwise until it locks in place. Make sure the
filters are fully seated as improper replacement
of the filters may reduce the performance level
of the appliance. Replace the lower spray arm
and lower rack.
