Abstract
An appliance includes an outer cabinet that has a treatment interface in communication with a processing space defined within the outer cabinet. A microfiber receptacle is selectively operable relative to the treatment interface of the outer cabinet between an installed position and an extracted position, and defines a sliding interface. A microfiber filter is selectively removable from the microfiber receptacle in the extracted position. A chemistry receptacle is received by the sliding interface, and is selectively operable between a fill position that is at least partially outside of the outer cabinet and a treating position that is within the treatment interface. The chemistry receptacle is operable between the fill position and the treating position when the microfiber receptacle is in the installed position.
