4. Clean Filter Area: Before inserting the new filter, clean any debris or residue from the filter housing area in the dishwasher tub.
5. Insert New Filter: Place the new flat microfilter into its designated slot at the bottom of the tub. Then, insert the new cylindrical coarse filter into the microfilter, aligning the tabs.
6. Secure Filter: Twist the cylindrical filter clockwise until it locks securely into place. Ensure it is firmly seated to prevent leaks and ensure proper filtration.
7. Replace Lower Rack: Slide the lower dish rack back into position.
8. Reconnect Power: Plug the dishwasher back into the electrical outlet.

3. Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the dishwasher filter is essential for maintaining optimal washing performance and preventing blockages. Even though this is a new filter, it will accumulate food particles over time.

3.1 Cleaning the Filter

1. Frequency: It is recommended to clean the filter assembly at least once a week, or more frequently if you wash heavily soiled dishes.
2. Removal: Follow steps 1-3 from the Installation section to remove the filter assembly.
3. Rinse: Rinse both the coarse filter and the microfilter under running water to remove any trapped food particles. Use a soft brush if necessary to dislodge stubborn debris.
4. Reinstall: Reinstall the clean filter assembly by following steps 4-8 from the Installation section. Ensure it is securely locked in place.

Caution: Do not operate the dishwasher without the filter properly installed, as this can lead to damage to the pump and poor washing results.

If you experience issues with your dishwasher after installing the new filter, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Poor Washing Results (Dishes not clean):
  • Cause: Filter is clogged with food particles.
  • Solution: Remove and thoroughly clean the filter assembly as described in the Maintenance section.
