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.

Models with Stainless Steel Door—

Clean outer door with warm soapy water and a dishcloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and a dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners.

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.

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

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.

Property Damage Hazard

Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within dishwasher are protected.

Failure to do so could result in property damage.
