FILTERING SYSTEM

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, WE HAVE PLACED THE FILTERING SYSTEM WITHIN EASY REACH INSIDE THE TUB. THE FILTER REMOVES BITS OF FOOD TRAPPED IN THE FILTER FROM THE WASH WATER SO IT CAN BE RECIRCULATED DURING THE CYCLE. THERE ARE THREE PARTS TO THE FILTERING SYSTEM: 1) The Main Filter, 2) The Coarse Filter & 3) The Fine Filter.

1 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.

2 COARSE FILTER

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this filter and lift it out.

3 FINE FILTER

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being re-deposited on the dishes during a cycle.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE SURFACES OF YOUR APPLIANCE

•TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR OF YOUR DISHWASHER (INCLUDING THE CONTROL PANEL), USE A LIGHTLY DAMPENED CLOTH THEN DRY THOROUGHLY. NEVER USE SHARP OBJECTS, SCOURING PADS OR

HARSH CLEANERS ON ANY PART OF THE APPLIANCE. SOME PAPER TOWELS CAN SCRATCH.

•TO CLEAN THE EDGE AROUND THE DOOR, ONLY EVER USE A SOFT WARM, DAMP RAG. DO NOT USE A SPRAY CLEANER HERE OR WHEN CLEANING THE DOOR PANEL AS THIS MAY HARM THE DOOR LOCK AND ELECTRICAL PARTS.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

THE SPRAY ARMS NEED REGULAR CLEANING AS HARD WATER RESIDUES WILL CLOG THEIR JETS & BEARINGS. TO REMOVE THE 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 WARM WATER & USE A SOFT BRUSH TO CLEAN THE JETS. REPLACE THE SPRAY ARM AFTER RINSING IT THOROUGHLY.
