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.

ATTENTION

		To avoid dishwasher damage, do not allow water to remain in your dishwasher sys-
		tems 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.
Figure	26	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.
