MAINTENANCE TASKS
Certain areas of your dishwasher require occasional
maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy to do and
will ensure continued superior performance from your
dishwasher:
•
Wiping up Spills and Splash-outs
Water may occasionally splash out of your dishwasher,
especially if you interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher
door during a cycle. To avoid floor damage and possible
mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or
under the dishwasher.
•
Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly
to remove debris that might collect from normal loading.
If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub or inner
door, make sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.
•
Check and
clean the Spray arm nozzles
Occasionally check the spray arms to ensure that the spray
arm nozzles (holes) are unobstructed. You must remove the
spray arms to check them for obstruction.

locking nut counter-clockwise and remove it as shown
above to release the spray arm.

1/8 turn clockwise.

Check and clean the filter system
This dishwasher has a filter system that consists of a Large
Object Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly and a Fine Filter.
The filter system is located on the inside of your dishwasher
under the lower rack and is easily accessible. During
normal use, the filter system is self-cleaning. You should
occasionally inspect it for foreign objects and clean it when
necessary.
To avoid injury, do not reach into the large object trap
with your fingers. The large object trap could contain sharp
objects.
