Cleaning The Filters; Protect Against Freezing - GE GLDT690 Série Mode D'emploi

Cleaning the Filters

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be
cleaned frequently, typically once a month. The filter efficiently
removes food particles from the wash water, allowing water to be
recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to
remove the large food particles trapped in the filter frequently by
rinsing the main filter and cup under running water.
STEP 1: Turn the filter counter-clockwise and lift up.
STEP 2: Lift the main filter up.
STEP 3: Lift the fine filter up.
NOTE: Replace filters by reversing steps 1-3.

Protect Against Freezing

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter,
or installed against an under-insulated exterior wall, ask a service
technician to:
1 Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or
trip circuit breaker.
2 Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line
from the water valve.
Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up
into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher.
It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require
air gaps, so you may not have one.
To remove the filter assembly, follow the 3 steps shown below.
To clean the main filter and fine filter, use a cleaning brush. The
dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper
replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the
appliance and may damage dishes and utensils.
3 Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve.
(Use a pan to catch the water.)
4 Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.
The air gap is easy to clean.
1
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off
the air gap cover.
2 Remove the plastic cap under the
cover and clean with a toothpick.
3 Replace the cap and cover when
the air gap is clean.
