Hi Joan,
We appreciate your question about the dishwasher filter and wash cycle.
The dishwasher filter is removable, please refer to page 28 of the user manual of this model I have shared below for steps in removing it.
The dishwasher is heated wash or rinse but not heated drying. Some cycles will operate the drying fan for 30 minutes after a cycle. Please refer to page 31 of the user manual of this model below for the cycle chart.
