Caring for the dishwasher. GEAppliances.com
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior,
use a good appliance polish.
Never use sharp object, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place
during the winter, ask a service technician to:
Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.
Turn off the water supply and disconnect
the water inlet line from the water valve.
Drain water from the inlet line and water
valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
Reconnect the water inlet line to the
water valve.
Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub
bottom and use a sponge to soak up water
in the rubber boot.

An air gap protects your dishwasher against
water backing up into it if a drain clogs.
The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher.
It is not covered by your warranty. Not all
plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may
not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean.
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the
chrome cover.
Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with
a toothpick.
