Care and Cleaning

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

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 NW PART OF YOUR DISHWASHER. IT IS N~ COVERED IN YOUR WARRANTY.

The air gap is easy to clean.

With most types, first turn off the dishwasher, 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. . .

Clean the control panel with a lightly dampened cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasives or sharp objects on the panel. They can damage it.

Clean the outside with a good appliance polish wax. The outside cabinet finish is durable, but it can scratch. So use no scouring pads, harsh or gritty cleaners.

Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner (Cat. No. WRWX216) is available from Hotpoint Appliance Parts Marts.

The inside usually takes care of itself. If it should ever need cleaning, use a mild cleansing powder. Scouring pads and harsh cleaners can mar the finish.
