General Theory of Operation
2015 KitchenAid Microfiltration Wash System
No Filter Cup, No Chopper
The industry’s rst microltraon system is a clear departure
from tradional, passive ltraon because it connuously
lters 100% of the water, reducing the cycle me and energy
consumpon on the heaviest loads.
Similar on the Surface, Radically Different Inside
The only visible ltraon component of the new ltraon
system is the coarse lter in the boom of the tub. The rest of
the high-performance ltraon system is below the tub.
How Microfiltration Works (See Figure 1)
1. Water and food parcles ow through the coarse lter (A)
into the lter housing.
2. An impeller pulls wash and rinse water into the spinning
ultra-ne lter (B).
3. The ultra-ne lter is cleaned by an area of back-pressure
(C) created by two sets of wing-shaped blades located
inside (D) and outside (E) the lter.
4. Food parcles remain suspended inside the lter housing;
ltered water is pumped back to the wash arms.
5. During draining, a secondary pump ushes out food
parcles and soils.
