Filters
The filters are important, because they continuously filter wash water. Under normal operation, the filters are self cleaning and require no maintenance. If there is a heavy amount of food soil, sediment or hard water conditions, it may be necessary to clean the filters after each use. To clean, remove the filters as shown in the above illustration and soak overnight in a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar. Citric cleaner and water are also acceptable. Filters should appear bright when clean.
The Coarse Strainer
Large food particles that can’t pass through the drainage pump are collected in the coarse strainer. Lift out and empty the coarse strainer when necessary. Don’t forget to put it back again. It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the coarse strainer area.
WARNING
Never operate the dishwasher without the filters in place.

To Clean Filters
Remove the coarse strainer and empty. If necessary, remove the fine filter and clean all surfaces. DO NOT remove primary filter. Replace the filters and secure in place.
Storing the Dishwasher
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing temperatures or is left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by an authorized service person.
