DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning

Cleaning the exterior

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces,

 

especially just beneath the door area.

 

Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may want to wear

 

rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent

 

because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

 

To clean interior

 

Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean.

 

OR

 

Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.

 

OR

 

See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Spotting and filming on dishes” in

 

“Troubleshooting” section.

 

NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.

Drain Air Gap

 

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap

 

between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air

 

gap if your dishwasher is not draining well.

 

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the

 

dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®. Ask for

 

Part Number 300096.

 

NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your

 

dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service

 

costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.

 

 

To clean the drain air gap

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your

 

dishwasher. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic

 

cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary.

 

Storing

Storing for the summer

If your dishwasher is not in use during the summer months, turn off the water

 

supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

 

 

Storing for the winter

Avoid possible water damage to your home and dishwasher due to freezing

 

water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or could be exposed

 

to near freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by authorized

 

service personnel.
