Dishwasher Care

CLEANING THE DISHWASHER

Cleaning the exterior

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 - Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish Part Number 31464.

Cleaning the interior

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.

Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure

To help avoid odor or odor-causing residue in your dishwasher, use affresh® dishwasher and disposer cleaner (recommended) once a month as part of routine maintenance. Affresh® dishwasher and disposer cleaner is effective in all dishwasher brands.

IMPORTANT:

■Read these instructions and the instructions found on the affresh® product package completely before beginning the cleaning process.

■Use foil wrapper or gloves when handling the tablet.

1.Remove all dishware from the dishwasher. Open the dishwasher and place 1 affresh® dishwasher and disposer tablet in the main detergent tray and close the tray. Place another tablet in the prewash tray or simply place 1 tablet in the bottom of the dishwasher. Close the dishwasher. Run the dishwasher on the most aggressive cycle - heavy duty scrub, heated water, etc.

2.Place 1 affresh® dishwasher and disposal tablet into the garbage disposal. Turn on hot water to slow flow. Run the disposal and water for 15 seconds. Turn off disposal and water. Do not flush disposal completely with water. Water from the dishwasher will clean out the disposal. If no garbage disposal, skip this step.

Drain air gap

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.
