3.11 Filter Plate
The lter plate is a stainless steel disk positioned below the dish rack and spray arm and completely
encompasses the base of the tub.
The drain lter has a rubber over mould around the edge to reduce soil re-depositing. Between the lter plate
and rotor an o ring is also tted to ensure a tight t to reduce water leaks. These improvements will ensure a
better wash performance.
The drain lter ts tightly into the lter plate, due to the rubber over mould around the edge.
3.11.1 The Filter System
The tub has vanes that swirl the water around and over the lter plate. At the front of the tub, located as part of
the lter plate, is the drain lter.
The drain lter is secured into the lter plate over mould which helps sealing.
Large soils collect in the drain lter and only smaller soil ows through its micro-mesh lter, eliminating re-
depositing of soil during the wash.
The drain lter should be regularly checked and cleaned.
3.11.2 Removing and Cleaning the Drain Filter and Filter Plate
The drain lter can be emptied with the dish rack in place by removing the cutlery basket and opening the
plastic section of the dish rack.

lter sits ush with the lter plate.
The lter plate is removable for cleaning by removing the dish rack and spray arm and unlocking the locknut by
turning it anti-clockwise. Turning it too far will also release the rotor and may allow it to be lifted out with the
lter plate.
Clean under running water. When retting ensure the 3 inner locking pins on the lock ring are securely tted.
