Maintenance Filter System The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) And a micro filter (Fine filter). EdgeStar Dishwasher 1. Main filter: Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to drain. 2. Fine filter: This filter holds soil and food residue in the cylindrical base and prevents the soil from being redeposited on the dishes during wash cycle. 3. Coarse filter Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift out. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be re-cycled during the cycle. For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter assembly under running water. Use a soft cleaning brush to clean the coarse filter and the fine filter. Reassemble the filter parts as shown in the following diagram and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing downward. To remove the filter assembly, grab the handle of the fine filter, rotate it counterclockwise, then pull upward. Important Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. Improper replacement of the filter or damaged filters may reduce the performance level of the dishwasher and/or damage dishes and utensils. Clean the entire filter system at least once a week Inspect the filters after each wash and remove any food remnants and clean under running water. 16
