does this model have a removeable filter for cleaning. features do not show this as an option. please clarify. Other models state this feature clearly, but this one does not specify.

Hello, yes, this model has a filter that would need to be removed. Filters should be removed and cleaned every 1 - 3 months for best performance. To remove filter, pull out lower rack, grasp Filter Cup and rotate it 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Pull up to remove. Remove the Filter Plate. Rinse both under cold water in sink. A soft brush can be used to remove stuck on food. Replace filter plate. Ensure filter plate is correctly seated under tabs. To install filter cup, push down through opening. Turn clockwise to seat. Filter cup will click in to place when seated properly. Do not operate dishwasher with loose or missing filters. Thank you for your inquiry on our Whirlpool appliances.
