How do I clean and remove the filters in my dishwasher?

Cleaning the filters in your dishwasher is an essential task to keep the pump area clear and ensure optimal performance. However, please note that the steps and filter designs may differ based on the location and product model. It's important to refer to your user manual or local support page for specific instructions.

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach

inside the tub. There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter,

and the fine filter.

1. Main filter: Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are

pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down

the drain.

2. Coarse filter: Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that

could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an

item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this filter

and lift it out.

3. Fine filter: This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area

and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a cycle

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficiently

removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle.

For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after

each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water. To remove the

filter assembly, turn it in anti-clockwise direction and lift the filter assembly up. The entire filter

assembly should be cleaned regularly.

To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reinsert the entire

assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat, pressing downward, turning it clockwise

direction.

The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may

reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
