The filter system is designed to minimize maintenance while providing premium cleaning performance and minimum energy consumption.

Depending on use habits and water hardness, the filter system will require some maintenance to sustain premium cleaning performance.

Your filter system may need to be cleaned when: You notice food soils remaining on the filter system or objects trapped in the Large Object Trap. A drop in cleaning performance or a gritty film forms on the dishware.

When washing normally attached food soils that have been scraped before loading, in a household that runs the dishwasher every other day, your filter should be cleaned: 3 times a year – if you rinse before loading 4 times a year – if you only scrape before loading 6 times a year – if you do not rinse or scrape before loading 12 times a year – if you have hard water

Note: Clean the filter after washing loads with large amounts of food soils or loads with a heavy starch content, like potatoes and pasta, to maintain optimal performance.

Unscrew the Large Object Trap as illustrated and remove the entire filter system.

Remove the microfilter from the fine filter for easier cleaning.

Rinse the filters under running water and use a soft brush to clean.

Note: do not use abrasive brushes or steel wool, etc., as they may damage the filter.
