MAINTAINING THE DISHWASHER

Your new IVlaytag JetcIean TM dishwasher requires little maintenance attention. However, if you are going on vacation, leaving a summer home or storing the dish- washer for an extended period of time, you may want to review the following information.

Dishwasher Interior

The inside design is normally selfLeleaning. However, you m W want to periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if any large particles have not gone through the strainer portion of the inodule.

You may also want to xx4pe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil splashes which occurred

during loading.

Odors

Any- odor inside the dishwasher is likely related to a chemical (chlorine) odor from the detergent or a food

odor from soiled items sitting in the dishwashen Try using a different detergent, especially a lemon- scent-

ed one, or purchase a fresh package and see if the odor decreases,

We also recommend using the Rinse & Hold feature if dishes are to be held tor a couple of days before wash-

ing. This will remove most food soils that may canse an odor.

For a strong odor, try one of the following:

1.Place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cnp. Select Light/China and let the water circulate (br

about 10 minutes. Stop the dishwasher by unlatching the door and let stand overnight. Then restart the

dishwasher by latching the door and let it complete the cycle.

2.Select the Light/China cycle and let the dishwasher

fill with water. Then open the door and pour one cup of chlorine bleach into the bottom of the dishwasher.

Latch the door and let the dishwasher complete the cycle.

Storage/Moving

Fill both detergent cups with a fresh-scented dish- washer detergent or baking soda and select a Norrnal cycle. Allow the dishwasher to complete the wcle. Then turn the water supply- off and set the dishwasher

to drain. Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply

and prop open the door.

Dishwasher Exterior

The front of the dishwasher can he cleaned with a soft

damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use any abrasive powders or cleaning pads.

Convertible Models Only

These feature a wrap-around cabinet and cherrywood veneer top. Rollers on the base of the dishwasher aIIow

it to be rolled up to the sink when in use and placed in a more convenient location when not in use.

Before the first use, wipe the wood top with a damp cloth to remove surface dust. Drv. Then satnrate a cloth

with mineral oil and apply a heavy. coat to the top. Let this stand overnight. The next day; apply a thin coat of mineral oil and rub with a soft dr?' cloth. Repeat every" few months to maintain its appearance.

Do not use the wood top as a cutting surface or a resting place for warm/hot eookware as

this can damage the top.

Clean the cabinet with a soft damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Apply an appliance wax to the cabinet about once a year.
