Check and clean the filter system
The filter system consists of a Large Object Trap, Fine Filter and a
Micro Filter.
The filter system is located on the inside of your dishwasher under the
lower rack and is easily accessible. During normal use, the filter system is
self-cleaning. You should occasionally inspect it for foreign objects and
clean it when necessary.
CAUTION
To avoid injury, do not reach into the large object trap with your fingers.
The large object trap could contain sharp objects.
To remove the Large Object Trap, remove the bottom rack. Grasp the assembly
and turn it counterclockwise as shown in Figure 10. Lift the assembly out.
Carefully examine the assembly. If you find debris in the Large Object Trap, turn
it upside-down and gently tap it on a flat surface to dislodge and remove
debris.
Flush the Micro Filter clean by holding it under running water.
To reinstall the filter system, return the fine filter to the installed position. Turn the locking nut clock-
wise until it is locked. The arrow on the ring handle and the arrow on the Fine Filter should point at
each other.
Clean the exterior door panel
Colored doors: use only a soft cloth dampened with soapy water.
Stainless steel doors: use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner (preferably a liquid spray) made for
cleaning stainless steel. For the best results, apply the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth and then
wipe the surface.
Clean the door gasket
Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other debris. Also
clean the door seal, located inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.
Winterizing your unit
If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that experiences freezing
temperatures (holiday home or through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized by an
authorized professional service. Turn your household water supply to the dishwasher off when on
extended vacation or when dishwasher will not be used for more than 1 month.
