Cleaning The Filters - KENMORE ELITE 722.1435 Serie Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

This dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes
water and energy consumption while providing superior cleaning performance. Maintain the filter regularly to ensure peak
cleaning performance throughout the life of the dishwasher.
■ The assembled inner filter keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food particles, out of the pump.
■ The stainless steel filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.
Remove, inspect, and clean the filter system once a month for best performance. Filters may need to be cleaned more often
depending on usage. See chart below for details.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■ Visible objects or soil are on the filter assembly.
■ There is a decrease in cleaning performance (soil 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.
