CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE TASKS

Certain areas of your dishwasher require occasional maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy to do and will ensure continued superior performance from your dishwasher:

•Wiping up Spills and Splash-outs

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.

•Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub

Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that might collect 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 and 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.
