Care and Cleaning
For optimum performance, your dishwasher is
equipped with a filter assembly featuring a main
filter, cup and fine filter as shown in the drawing
above. All food fragments are removed from the
dishwasher as water passes through the filter
assembly.
Each part of the assembly should be cleaned often
to ensure that all food fragments are removed from
the dishes. To remove food fragments from the
filter assembly, the filters must be removed from
the dishwasher. To remove the filters, pull up on
the edge of the main filter. Next, rinse the main
filter and fine filter under running water. Cleaning
with a brush may also be necessary to remove any
fragments trapped in the filters. Once cleaning has
been completed, simply reassemble the filter as
shown in the drawing above. To ensure that the
filter is fully seated, please press down on the top
of the main filter. Using the dishwasher without
a properly installed filter is not recommended as
it will reduce the cleaning efficiency and may
damage dishware.
Cleaning the Filter
The spray arm may need to be cleaned to insure
that there are no clogs to the spray arm jets and
bearings due to hard water chemicals.
To remove spray arm simply hold the spray arm in
place and turn the retaining nut clockwise
and
pull up on the spray arm lifting off the shaft.
To clean the spray arm use warm soapy water
using a soft brush to clean the jets and bearings.
To replace the spray arm simply set the spray arm
on the shaft, take the retaining nut and turn it
counter clockwise till it has locked into place.
Cleaning the Spray Arm
Freezing temperatures may cause water lines
to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and
circulating lines within dishwasher are
protected. Failure to do so could result in
property damage.
