A:Answer Hello, this model does not have a self cleaning filter. The closest models would be KDTM804KPS, KDPM804KPS, KDPM704KPS, KDPM604KPS, KDTM604KPS, and KDFM404KPS. These model's have the following: The pump is protected from large objects entering it by the foreign object cup in the front and below the lower rack. The maintenance free filter system does not require any regular cleaning or maintenance. If this cup fills up with particles or objects, depress the tab in the center and pull up on the cup to remove it. Dispose of the contents and then replace the cup. To replace the cup, put into the opening and push down to lock in place. Thank you for your inquiry on our KitchenAid appliances.
