To Clean The Drain Filter

1.If the base rack is in place, lift the drain filter access panel.

2.Lift and remove the drain filter from the drawer.

3.Empty the drain filter, and rinse it with clean running water, then place the filter back into the drain space. Make sure that the drain filter is flush with the filter plate.

To Clean The Filter Plate

NOTE: Make sure that the dishwasher is cool before you start cleaning the filter plate.

1.Remove the spray arm and drain filter, as described in the previous sections.

2.In the center of the filter plate, there are two rings: an outer ring and a center ring. Hold the center ring still, and turn the outer ring counterclockwise about 1/8-turn so that the tabs and notches in both rings are aligned. This will release the filter plate.

3.Lift the filter plate and remove it from the unit. Use hot, soapy water, and remove any soil that is present. Rinse the filter plate thoroughly in clean water.

4.Wipe the heater plate that is located in the drawer with a damp cloth.

5.Replace the filter plate so that it lies flat in the base of the drawer.

6.Align the outer ring tabs with the notches in the center ring. Hold the center ring steady, and turn the outer ring clockwise until the lines that are on the two rings align. NOTE: When properly installed, you should not be able to move the filter plate.

IMPORTANT: The drawer must be used with the filter plate, drain filter, and spray arm cor- rectly in place.

THE SOUND SYSTEM

The WHISPER QUIETsound insulation sys- tem helps to maintain a quiet home environ- ment during dishwasher operation.

NOTE: If you do not load dishes properly, the quiet operation of the dishwasher could be affected.

THE DRYING SYSTEM

At the end of the selected wash program, the drying fan will continue to run for a set time, or until the drawer is opened. The fan assists with drying, and uses a small amount of energy.
