NOTE:
Standing water around or under the
dishwasher can cause mold growth. Do not allow
water from spills and splashout to remain around
or under your dishwasher.
Water may occasionally splash out of your
dishwasher, especially if you interrupt a cycle or
open the dishwasher door during a cycle.
Immediately wipe up any water that spills or
splashes out.
If your dishwasher will not be used for an
extended period of time in a location that
experiences freezing temperatures (e.g., in a
holiday home or through a vacation period), have
your dishwasher winterized by an authorized
service center.
Maintenance Tasks
Certain areas of your dishwasher require
occasional maintenance. The maintenance tasks
