KitchenAid 24'' 6-Cycle/5-Option Dishwasher, Architect® Series II Use & Care Manual

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.

Install the baskets in this down position when you have extra 
silverware, knives, or utensils requiring more room to wash.

IMPORTANT: When you are using the culinary tool baskets in the 
down position, the top rack must also be in the lowest position.

Remove the front basket in the down position, when you are using 
the cup shelves or other tall items in the top rack for more room.

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.
