Culinary Tool Rack The culinary tool rack is designed with 2 movable baskets to hold extra silverware, knives and cooking utensils. Install the baskets in this up position when you have extra silverware and flatware to wash. IMPORTANT: When you are using the culinary tool baskets in the down position, the mid level rack must also be in the lowest position. Down position Remove the front basket in the down position, when you are using the cup shelves or other tall items in the mid level rack for more room. Up position Install the baskets in this down position when you have extra silverware, knives, or utensils requiring more room to wash. L O CK Filtration System Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance. The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter assembly and a lower filter. ■ The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food particles, out of the pump. ■ The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware. The filters may need to be cleaned when: ■ Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly. ■ There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still present on dishes). ■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch. It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.
