Check/Clean the Filter System
Your Thermador dishwashers has a filter system
that is made up of a Large Object Trap/Cylinder
Filter assembly and a Fine Filter. The filter
system is located on the dishwasher floor and is
easily accessible.
During normal use the filter system is self-
cleaning, but you should occasionally inspect it
for foreign objects and clean it when necessary.

To avoid injury, do not reach into the large
object trap with your fingers. The large
object trap could contain sharp objects.
4. Carefully examine the assembly. If you find
debris in the Large Object Trap, turn it
upside-down and gently tap it on a surface
such as a countertop to dislodge and
remove the debris. Flush the Cylinder Filter
clean by holding it under running water.
