							Triple filter system
The triple filter system in the base of the
wash cabinet prevents food from being
redeposited on dishes. It also protects
the circulation pump from damage
caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken
glass, bones). During normal use, the
filter system is self-cleaning.
The machine must not be used
without all the filters in place!
Check and clean the filter system
periodically for any trapped or
foreign objects.
The level of soiling and time it takes
before the filters need cleaning will vary
depending on your household usage.
