For your convenience, we have placed the dr ain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside t he tub. There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine f ilter.

Main filter
Food and soil particles trapped by this fil ter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain.
Coarse fi lter
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.
3Fine filter
This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.
ATTENTION: Do not put the fine filter upside down.
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
Remove the filter in the tub the bottom and use a sponge to soak up water
in sump.
It is necessary to cl ean the spray arms regularly , for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the spray arm, screw off the nut clockwise to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove t he arm. Wash the arms i n soapy and
warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.
Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
The filter eff iciently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it 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 semicircular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The enti re filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter par ts as shown in the figures left and rei nsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.
