Filter Reinstallation Instructions

lines up with the round opening in the bottom of the tub.

filter is locked into place. If the filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to
turn the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.
NOTE: The Upper Filter Assembly arrow does not have to align with the arrow in
the Lower Filter as long as the filter is locked.

Be sure the Lower Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is locked into place. If the Upper Filter
Assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
DISHWASHER EFFICIENCY TIPS
Fiot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher detergent. Flot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses
dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not
wash as well if the water temperature is too low.
Additional efficiency tips
■ To save water, energy and time, only scrape dishes. Do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
■ Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utility providers recommend avoiding heavy
usage of energy at certain times of day.
■ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
■ Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
