Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. To clean interior:

l

l

Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a damp sponge to make a paste.

OR

Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with damp sponge.

Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.

Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it can cause foaming or sudsing.

NOTE: See “Removing spots and film” in the Solving Common Dishwashing Problems section to clean your dishwasher with white vinegar. Remember, this procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid. Excessive use can damage your dishwasher.

Overfill protector

The overfill protector (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.

Cleaning the filter screen

The filter system requires periodic cleaning as needed. To clean screen:

1.Unload and slide the bottom rack forward. (Remove bottom rack if necessary to reach filter screen.)

2.Remove collected particles from the screen with your fingers or paper towel.

3.Return the bottom rack to original position.
