Front Control Dishwasher
The inside of the dishwasher is self-cleaning under normal use. If needed, the tub gasket can be cleaned with a damp
cloth. Use a brush to clean the opening in the end of the gasket.
Cleaning the air gap
An
air gap
is an external plumbing device that is not actually part of your dishwasher. Some state or local plumbing codes
require the installation of a drain air gap between the dishwasher and the home drain system. It is usually located on the
countertop near the sink or the dishwasher.
If there is an air gap installed with your dishwasher, make sure that it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly.
Before you clean the air gap, turn off the dishwasher, then remove the plastic air gap cover and clean with a toothpick.
Protecting your dishwasher for long periods
Your dishwasher should be protected from freezing if you plan to leave it for extended periods in an unheated place. Have
a qualified person do the following:
To disconnect service:
1
Turn off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by moving fuses or tripping the circuit breaker.
2
Turn off the water supply.
3
Place a pan under the inlet valve, then disconnect the water line from the inlet valve and drain it into a pan.
4
Disconnect the drain line from the pump and drain the water into a pan.
To restore service:
1
Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power.
2
Turn on the water and the electrical power supply.
3
Fill the detergent cup and the rinse aid cup and run the dishwasher through a heated-wash cycle.
4
Check all connections to make sure that they do not leak.
