Cleaning Instructions

IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.

Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush may be required.

Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the

filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn

the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.

NOTE: The upper filter assembly arrow does not have to

align with the arrow in the lower filter as long as the filter is

locked.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the filters properly installed. Be sure the lower filter is securely in place and the upper filter assembly is locked into place. If the upper filter assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
