Cleaning the Pump and Spray Arm

Outside

—Occasionally wash with a mild

nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

Inside

—The inside of the dishwasher is self-

cleaning with normal use.

If hard water causes lime deposit buildup, clean
using the following instructions:
1. After dishwasher begins to fill, open door and

pour 2 cups of white vinegar into dishwasher.
Do not add dishes or detergent.

2. Run through any full wash cycle.

If it is felt that further interior cleaning is needed,
general household spray cleansers are
recommended. Follow manufacturer's directions.

ImportantThe dishwasher motor is
permanently lubricated at the factory and does
not need to be oiled.

Care and Cleaning

Burn Hazard

Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in
burns.

Factors Affecting
Performance

Water Pressure

Water pressure should be between 15 and 120
pounds per square inch. Low water pressure
occurs most often during periods of high water
consumption, such as when laundry or showers
are being done. To determine if you have enough
water pressure, put a 2 quart container under fully
opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. It
should fill in less than 14 seconds. Be sure all
other faucets are turned off during test.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher
should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give
satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering
dishwasher:

• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher

for several minutes to clear cool water from
pipes.

• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream

of water to check the temperature.

• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a

qualified person raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.

Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot
water to clear cool water from pipe.

Pump Opening

Spray
Arm

1. Remove tower base by turning counterclock-

wise.

2. Remove locknut and spray arm.
3. Clean out spray arm holes.
4. Clean in and around pump openings.
5. Replace spray arm and securely tighten lock-

nut. Spray arm should rotate freely.

6. Replace tower base.

Tower

Your dishwasher will
flush away all normal
food soils. However,
objects (bones, fruit
pits, etc.) may collect
in openings and
should be removed
periodically
to avoid clogging
drain system.
