?Filtering System

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter and 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 filer, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this filter and lift out.

3. Fine Filter

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

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

?Protect Against Freezing

If you dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

1.Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or tip circuit breaker.

2.Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

3.Drain water from the inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

4.Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

5.Remove the plastic sump cover in the bottom of thetub and use a sponge to soak up water in rubber boot.

?Cleaning The Spray Arms

Because hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings, it is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly. 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 and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

?Cleaning The Filters

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.

The filter efficiently removes food particles form the wash water, allowing water to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the main filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on
