ENGLISHENGLISHENGLISHENGLISHENGLISH
For optimum performance, your dishwasher is
equipped with a filter assembly featuring a main
filter, cup and fine filter as shown in the drawing
above. All food fragments are removed from the
dishwasher as water passes through the filter
assembly.
Each part of the assembly should be cleaned often
to ensure that all food fragments are removed from
the dishes. To remove food fragments from the
filter assembly, the filters must be removed from
the dishwasher. To remove the filters, pull up on
the edge of the main filter. Next, rinse the main
filter and fine filter under running water. Cleaning
with a brush may also be necessary to remove
any fragments trapped in the filters. Once
cleaning has been completed, simply reassemble
the filter as shown in the drawing above. To
ensure that the filter is fully seated, please press
down on the top of the main filter. Using the
dishwasher without a properly installed filter is
not recommended as it will reduce the
cleaning efficiency and may damage dishware.
