Dishwasher Care

Cleaning the Dishwasher

Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

NOTE: Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.

Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.

A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

Periodically clean the coarse filter cup located on the floor of the dishwasher drawer. Remove collected particles from the coarse filter cup.

IMPORTANT: Do not start the dishwasher until the coarse filter cup is securely in place and flush with the coarse filter plate. Doing so may damage the dishwasher motor and/or spray arm.

Cleaning the Coarse Filter Cup

1.Pull drawer out to its full extension. Remove rack inserts from rack and set aside.

2.To remove the coarse filter cup, unscrew the small cap, turning in a counterclockwise motion. Lift and remove the coarse filter cup out of the drawer.

3.Empty the cup of hard objects and food soil. Rinse cup under hot water.

4.Place the coarse filter cup back into the coarse filter plate and tighten the cap, turning in a clockwise motion. Make sure the coarse filter cup is flush with the coarse filter plate.

5.Replace the rack inserts.

6.Make sure spray arm rotates freely.

If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn't draining well.

Storing the Dishwasher

If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing temperatures or is left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second home or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
