Care and Cleaning

Burn Hazard

Allow heating element to cool before cleaning the interior. Failure to do so can result in burns.

Outside—Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

Inside— The inside of the dishwasher is self- cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth.

The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located in the center of the filter is designed to collect pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits. To remove items in glass trap, grasp handle, lift out, empty and replace.

Overfill Protector— keeps dishwasher from overfilling and is located in the left front corner of the tub.

•Clean occasionally with household cleaner containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any buildup.

•Overfill Protector should move up and down freely about one inch. If it does not move, lift and clean underneath.

Care of Drain Air Gap

If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted on countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty.

Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see "Removing Spots and Film" section.
