Care and Maintenance
Maintenance Tasks
Certain areas of the dishwasher require occasional maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy to do and will
ensure continued superior performance from your dishwasher.
Wiping up Spills and Splash-outs
Water may occasionally splash out of your dishwasher, particularly if you interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher
door during a cycle. To avoid floor damage and possibly mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or
under the dishwasher.
Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that may collect from normal loading. If
spots begin to appear on the stainless steel, make sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly.
Check and Clean Spray Arm Nozzles
Remove the upper spray arm by first removing the empty upper rack from the dish-
washer. Turn the rack upside down. The upper spray arm is held in position by a locking
nut as shown in
Figure 8
. Turn the locking nut counterclockwise and remove it to release
the spray arm. Look for obstruction in the spray nozzles. If the spray nozzles need clean-
ing, flush them under running water.
To reinstall the upper spray arm, place it back in position and return the locking nut to
its install position. Turn the locking nut clockwise to secure. Return the upper rack to
the upper rack roller guides.
Remove the lower spray arm by first removing the empty lower rack from the dish-
washer. Grasp and lift the spray arm as shown in
Figure 9
. Look for obstruction in the
spray nozzles. If the spray nozzles need cleaning, flush them under running water.
To reinstall the lower spray arm, return the lower spray arm to the installed position and
press it until it snaps into place. Return the lower rack to the installed position.
Check and Clean the Filter System
The filter system consists of a Large Object Trap, Fine Filter and a Micro Filter.
The filter system is located on the inside of your dishwasher under the lower rack and is
easily accessible. During normal use, the filter system is self-cleaning. You should occa-
sionally inspect it for foreign objects and clean it when necessary.
WARNING
WARNIN
To remove the Large Object Trap, remove the lower rack. Grasp the assembly
and turn it counterclockwise as shown in
Figure 10
. Lift the assembly out.
Carefully examine the assembly. If you find debris in the Large Object Trap, turn it
upside-down and gently tap it on a flat surface to dislodge and remove debris.
Flush the Micro Filter clean by holding it under running water.
To reinstall the filter system, return the fine filter to the installed position. Turn the
locking nut clockwise until it is locked. The arrow on the ring handle and the arrow
on the Fine Filter should point at each other.
