CARE AND CLEANING

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Clean the control panel with a lightly dampened cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasives or sharp objects on the panel. They can damage it.

Clean the outside with a good appliance polish wax. The outside cabinet finish is durable, but it can scratch. Do not use scouring pads, or harsh or gritty cleaners.

Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner (Cat. No. WR97X0216) is available from GE Service and Parts Centers.

The inside usually takes care of itself. If it should ever need cleaning, use a mild cleansing powder. Scouring pads and harsh cleaners can mar the finish.

Not Using Your Dishwasher in Winter? Protect Against Freezing.

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

•Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

•Turn off the water supply.

•Disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

•Drain water from the inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Pump Cover Screws

•Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

•Drain the collection chamber at rear of unit below filter by disconnecting hose to pump. Reconnect after draining.

•Remove the plastic pump cover in the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in the rubber boot.

Built-in Dishwashers Often Use an Air Gap. Keep It Clean.

An air gap is a plumbing device. It protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher and you may not even have one. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps.

Two types of Air Gaps

If you have an air gap, check it at least once a month. IT IS NOT PART OF YOUR DISHWASHER. IT IS NOT COVERED IN YOUR WARRANTY.

The air gap is easy to clean. With most types, first turn off the dishwasher, then lift off the chrome cover. Then unscrew the plastic cap and check for any buildup of grit. A toothpick makes cleaning easy.

Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn’t draining well.
