MAINTAINING THE

DISHWASHER

Your new Maytag Jetelean TM dishwasher requires little maintenance attention. However, if you are going on vacation, leaving a summer home or storing the dish- washer ff)r an extended period of time, you may want to review the following information,

Dishwasher Interior

The inside design is normally selfLcleaning. However, you mav want to periodiealIy check the bottom of the dishwasber tub to see if any" large particles have not gone through the strainer portion of the module.

You may also want to wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil splashes which occurred during loading.

Odors

Any odor inside the dishwasher is likely related to a chemical (chlorine) odor frmn the detergent or a food odor from soiled items sitting in the dishwasher. Try using a different detergent, espedaIly a lemon scent-

ed one, or purchase a fresh package and see if the odor decreases.

We also recommend using the Rinse & Hold feature if dishes are to he held for a couple of days before wash-

ing. This will remove most food soils that may cause an odor.

For a strong odor, try"one of the following:

I. Place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select Light/China and let the water circulate for

about 10 minutes. Stop the dishwasher by unlatching the door and let stand overnight. Then restart the dishwasher by latching the door and let it complete the cycle.

2.Select the Light/China cycle and let tile dishwasher

fill with water. Then open the door and pour one cup of chlorine bleaeh into the bottom of the dishwasher.

Latch the door and let the dishwasher complete the cycle.

Storage/Moving

Fill both detergent cups with a fresh scented dish- washer detergent or baking soda and select a Normal cycle. Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the water supply- off"and set tbe dishwasher to drain. Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply and prop open the door.

Dishwasher Exterior

The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use any abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
