Maintenance Tasks
Certain areas of your dishwasher require occasional maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy to do and will ensure continued superior performance from your dishwasher. These tasks are:
•Winterizing Your Dishwasher
•Wiping up Spills and
•Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
•Check/Clean the Spray Arm Nozzles
•Check/Clean the Filter System
•Clean the Exterior Door Panel
•Clean the Door Gasket
Winterizing Your Dishwasher
If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (e.g., in a holiday home or through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized by an authorized service center.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not allow water to remain in your dishwasher systems through extended periods of freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures can damage your dishwasher.
Wiping Up Spills and Splash-out
Water may occasionally splash out of your dishwasher, especially if you interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher door during a cycle. To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
Check/Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that might collect there from normal loading.
If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub or inner door, make sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.
Check/Clean the Spray Arm Nozzles
Occasionally check the spray arms to ensure that the spray arm nozzles (holes) are unobstructed. You must remove the spray arms to check them for obstruction.
