“My old dishwasher had a grinder and at the end of a cycle, there was no food left in the unit. With these new dishwashers that have filters that catch food, how do they stay odor-free even if the filter is cleaned every week or 2, let alone once a month?”

Hi HappyJack. Thank you for your question. Bosch dishwashers do not have hard food disposers. The Bosch® 3 part filter system is designed to prevent the need to pre-rinse normally attached food soils from your dishes. Simply scrape left over food soil off of dishware before loading. Large Object Trap: Prevents objects that should not be placed in your dishwasher from damaging the dishwasher pump system or clogging your household drain. Flat Fine Filter: Prevents food particles from entering the wash chamber and directs particles toward the micro filter. Micro Filter: Directs the smallest of particles to the household plumbing drain. The dishwasher filter system is designed to filter 100% of the water entering the spray arms to provide a continuous supply of clean water to remove food soils from your dishware. 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. The 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.
