ULTRA WASH ®HEFILTRATION SYSTEM
Your dishwasher
has the latest
technology
in dishwasher
filtration.
This triple
filtration
system
minimizes
sound
and
optimizes
water
and energy
consumption
while
providing
superior
cleaning
performance.
Throughout
the life of your
dishwasher,
the filter
will
require
maintenance
to sustain
peak
cleaning
performance.
The triple
filter
system
consists
of 2 parts,
an upper
filter
assembly
and a lower
filter.
•
The upper
filter
assembly
keeps
oversized
items
and
foreign
objects,
along
with
very
fine
food
particles
out of the pump.
•
The lower
filter
keeps
food
from
being
recirculated
onto
your
dishware.
Lower Filter
In order
to provide
optimum
cleaning
performance
we suggest
a monthly
filter
maintenance
by removing
and inspecting
both
the upper
and the lower
filter
for any
soils. Based
on your
dishwashing
habits,
cleaning
of the filters
may
be required
more
or
less often
than
what
is indicated
in the chart
below.
The filters
may
need
to be cleaned
when:
•
Visible
objects
or soils are on the Upper
Filter
Assembly.
•
There
is degradation
in cleaning
performance
(that
is, soils still present
on dishes).
•
Dishes
feel
gritty
to the touch.
Removing
and maintaining
the filters
is very
easy. The chart
below
shows
the recommended
cleaning
frequency.

Manufacturer's
recommendation:
This practice
will
eliminate
the use of water
and
energy
that
you use preparing
your
dishes.
This will
also save you time
and effort.
Very Hard Water
If you have
hard
water
(above
15 grains),
clean
your filter
at least once
per month.
Building
up of white
residue
on your
dishwasher
indicates
hard
water.
You may
bring
your water
samples
to Sears
to check
hardness
level.

spots and
stains, see "Troubleshooting"
