1Switch the dishwasher off, let it cool (the water in the sump can be hot) and pull out the lower basket. Take care: there may be broken glass in the sump.
2Turn the coarse filter anticlockwise and lift out the filter system. Make sure nothing drops into the sump.
3Pull the micro filter down off the bottom, then press the locking catches together and lift the coarse filter out of the flat fine filter.
4Rinse each part under running water, including the rim between the coarse and fine filters, and swap in the new part.
5Put the filters back together so the catches click, refit the system and turn the coarse filter clockwise until the arrows line up.

After refitting the filter

There is no filter reset on most models. Models with Home Connect can show a reminder in the app when the filters need cleaning.
