To clean the filter: Unscrew the Large Object Trap 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. Reinstall the filter system in reverse sequence and lock into place by screwing the Large Object Trap until the marking arrows align. 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. 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.
