CARE AND CLEANING
CLEAN THE DOOR GASKET
Clean the door gasket with a damp cloth regularly to remove
food particles.
INSIDE
The inside of the dishwasher is self-cleaning with normal use.
If needed, clean the tub gasket with a damp cloth and use a
brush similar to the one shown below to clean the opening in
the end of the gasket.
AIR GAP
If there is an air gap installed with your dishwasher, make sure
it is clean, so the dishwasher will drain properly.
Air gap is not part of your dishwasher. Before cleaning the air
gap, first turn off the dishwasher, then lift off the cover. Remove
the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick.
