Care of the wood top

Before using, wipe well with a dry cloth to remove surface dust. Saturate a clean cloth with mineral oil and polish all exposed wood surfaces until they gleam. Allow wood top to stand overnight to absorb the oil and repeat the treatment the next day. Allow to stand for 4 to 6 hours and wipe off excess oil with a soft, dry cloth.

Wood tops should not be used as a place for thawing frozen foods, even when protected by a sheet of aluminum foil. Never let water stand on the wood top.

To remove water stains, rub with a cloth saturated with non-toxic mineral oil (available at most drug stores).

Should your top become too stained, dirty or cut, sand with

#000(150) or #0000(220) sandpaper ?- + then wipe with a cloth satu-

1,d with non-toxic mineral oil.

Built=in dishwashers often use an air gap. Keep it clean.

An air gap is a plumbing device. It protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. And you may not even have one. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps.

If you have an air gap, check it at least once a month. THE AIR GAP IS NOT PART OF YOUR DISH- WASHER. IT IS NOT COVERED IN YOUR WARRANTY

The air gap is easy to clean. With most types, first turn off the dish- washer, then lift off the chrome cover. Then unscrew the plastic cap and check for any build-up of grit. A toothpick makes cleaning easy.

Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn’t draining well.

To keep your dishwasher

looking good...

DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, SHARP OBJECTS, SCOURING PADS, HARSH OR GRITTY CLEANSERS ON ANY PART OF YOUR DISHWASHER.

Clean control panel with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

The interior usually takes care of itself. If it should need cleaning, use a mi/d cleaning powder.

Clean the exterior with a good appliance polish wax to protect finish.

How to prepare your dishwasher for winter storage

If the dishwasher is to be left unused in an unheated location during the winter months, have a service technician take the following steps to prevent the machine from freezing:

. Remove fuses or trip circuit breakers to remove electric power from the dishwasher.

. Turn off water to dishwasher. Disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve and drain.

. Remove water valve from the dishwasher and blow on small plastic outlet to remove water. Replace water valve and water line.

. Remove plug in bottom of rubber boot and drain completely. Replace the plug.

Conversion Kit (Cat. No. WD35X5073) to convert conver- tible dishwasher to permanent built-in installation is available from your dealer or service organization.
