Dishwasher
Spray
Arms and
Filters
The dishwasher will flush away all normal food
soils. However, objects (fruit pits, bones, etc.) may
collect in openings and should be removed
occasionally to avoid clogging the drain system.
CAUTION: Personal injury hazard.
Before cleaning the interior, wait at least 20
minutes after a cycle for the heating element
to cool down. Failure to do so could result in
burn injuries.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
Because hard water chemicals will clog the spray
arm jets and bearings, it is necessary to clean
the spray arms regularly. To remove the spray
arm, twist the retaining nut 90 degrees and pull
the spray arm off the shaft.
Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a
soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after
rinsing thoroughly.
Cleaning the Filters
For best performance and results, the filter
assembly must be cleaned regularly. The filter
efficiently removes food particles from the wash
water, allowing water to be recirculated during
the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to
remove the large food particles trapped in the
filter frequently by rinsing the main filter and cup
under running water. To remove the filter
assembly, pull up on the cup handle. The entire
filter assembly should be cleaned at least once a
month. To clean the main filter and fine filter, use
a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter
parts as shown in the illustration and reinsert the
entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it
in place and pressing downward. The dishwasher
must never be used without the filters. Improper
replacement of the filter may reduce the
performance level of the appliance and may
damage dishes and utensils.
