Care and Cleaning

Burn Hazard

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

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

Inside—The inside of the dishwasher is self- cleaning with normal use.

If hard water causes lime deposit buildup, clean using the following instructions:

1.After dishwasher begins to fill, open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into dishwasher.

Do not add dishes or detergent.

2.Run through any full wash cycle.

If it is felt that further interior cleaning is needed, general household spray cleansers are recommended. Follow manufacturer's directions.

Important: The dishwasher motor is permanently lubricated at the factory and does not need to be oiled.

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. Drain air gaps are usually mounted on countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover. A drain air gap is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by this warranty.

Float—is used to measure water level in dishwasher. Refer to Dishwasher Features on page 3 for exact location.

•Clean float with household cleanser containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any buildup. Cleaning will prevent float from sticking and stopping a water fill or allowing dishwasher to overflow.

float out. Clean around areas shown in illustration.

• To replace float, push down until float locks into place.
