Care and Cleaning

Outside

—Occasionally wipe with a mild

nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and
dry.

Inside

The inside of the dishwasher is self-

cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean
around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth.

The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located
in the center of the filter is designed to collect
pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits.
To remove items in glass trap, grasp handle,
lift out, empty and replace.

Care of Drain Air Gap

If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in
dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so
the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air
gap is usually mounted on countertop and can
be inspected by removing the cover. This is not
part of your dishwasher and is not covered by
warranty.

Note:

 Hard water may cause lime deposit

buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For
cleaning instructions see “Removing Spots
and Film” section.

Overfill Protector

keeps dishwasher from

overfilling and is located in the left front corner
of the tub.
• Clean occasionally with household cleaner

containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any
buildup.

• Overfill Protector

should move up and
down freely about one
inch. If it does not
move, lift and clean
underneath.

Winterizing

A dishwasher left in an unheated place should
be protected from freezing. Have a qualified
person do the following:

To Disconnect Service:

1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher

at the supply source by removing fuses or
tripping circuit breaker.

2. Shut off water supply.
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve.

Disconnect water line from inlet valve and
drain into pan.

4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain

water into pan.

Note:

 See Installation Instructions for more

details.

To Restore Service:

1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical

power supply.

2. Turn on water and electrical power supply.
3. Fill both detergent cups and run

dishwasher through a NORMAL cycle.

4. Check connections to make sure they do

not leak.

Note:

 See Installation Instructions for more

details.

Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior.

Failure to do so can result in
burns.

Burn Hazard

Freezing temperatures may cause water
lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to
and circulating lines within dishwasher are
protected.

Failure to do so could result in property
damage.
