Rotate the door handle counterclockwise to unfasten the filter compartment door. Remove the filter door, and then remove the micro filter (fine filter) found underneath.

Some of the debris that is trapped in the filter may be sharp (glass, bones, plastics, etc.), so please be careful when cleaning the filters.

Remove any dirt or debris from the micro filter and filter door. Rinse under clean, running water.
Reinstall the flat micro filter and the filter door.

Place the micro filter back in the filter compartment. Replace filter door on top. Rotate the filter door handle clockwise to lock the filter door.
