3.4.3 Filter Plate

The filter plate is a stainless steel disk positioned below the dish rack and spray arm and completely encompasses the base of the tub.

The drain filter has a rubber over mould around the edge to reduce soil re-depositing. Between the filter plate and rotor an o ring is also fitted to ensure a tight fit to reduce water leaks. These improvements will ensure a better wash performance.

The drain filter fits tightly into the filter plate, due to the rubber over mould around the edge.

3.4.4 Drain Filter

The tub has vanes that swirl the water around and over the filter plate. At the front of the tub, located as part of the filter plate, is the drain filter.

The drain filter is secured into the filter plate over mould which helps sealing.

Large soils collect in the drain filter and only smaller soil flows through its micro-mesh filter, eliminating re-depositing of soil during the wash.

The drain filter should be regularly checked and cleaned.
