Caring for Your Dishwasher

Your new dishwasher is designed to give you many years of dependable service. There are a few things you can do to maintain your dishwasher properly. This section tells you how to clean and care for your dishwasher. Refer to “Solution chart” on pages 21-23 for special cleaning problems. See Installation Instructions for information on storing your dishwasher and for cleaning the drain air gap.

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: Follow the “Removing spots and film” procedure on page 23 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.
