Very Hard Water
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Buildup of white residue on dishwasher surfaces
indicates hard water. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
"Troubleshooting" section.
Filter Removal Instructions
1. Turn the Upper Filter Assembly ¼ turn counterclockwise and lift out.
2. Grasp the Lower Filter in the circular opening, lift slightly, and pull forward to remove.
3. Clean the filters as shown below.
Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If you
have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a
soft brush may be required.
Filter Reinstallation Instructions
1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the Lower Filter under the Locating Tabs in the
bottom of the dishwasher so the round opening for the Upper Filter Assembly lines up
with the round opening in the bottom of the tub.
2. Insert the Upper Filter Assembly into the circular opening in the Lower Filter.
3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place. Continue to rotate until the filter
is locked into place. If the filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the
filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the ULTRACLEAN™ filters properly installed.
Be sure the Lower Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is locked into place. If the Upper Filter Assembly turns
freely, it is not locked into place.
The 360° Powerwash
Plus system (on some models) offers advanced cleaning technology providing optimal water coverage. This technology
®
enables the spray arms to turn in both directions while detecting if there are any items obstructing the spray arm from spinning. When the spray
arms are obstructed the system will detect and force the spray arm to rotate in the opposite direction allowing complete coverage of the
dishwasher load.
