CARING FOR YOUR DISHWASHER

Caring for Surfaces

Exterior

Wash with a mild, nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

Interior

Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.

The interior is self-cleaning with normal use. If hard water causes lime deposit buildup, clean using the following instructions:

1.After dishwasher begins to fill, open door and pour two (2) cups of vinegar into the dishwasher. Do not add dishes or detergent.

2.Run the machine through any full wash cycle.

Cleaning the Drain Air Gap

If the installer of your built-in dishwasher installed an air gap in the drain system, it should be checked periodically to make sure it is clean. Air gaps are usually mounted on the counter top or in the wall above the dishwasher and can be inspected by removing the cover.
