A:AnswerHi Washerwoman, thanks for your question and interest in model # SHE53C82N. We recommend cleaning your dishwasher filter every 2-3 months to keep your Bosch dishwasher in optimal condition. This dishwasher features PureDry® which is an energy efficient, closed drying system that does not pull in outside air and gently whisks moisture away from dishes as they cool. And with no exposed heating element, you can safely place plastics anywhere.
