indicator
If you select the Sani Rinse option, when the cycle is finished, the Sanitized
indicator on the control panel glows. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize
your dishes, the Sanitized indicator flashes at the end of the cycle. This can
happen if the cycle is interrupted or if water could not be heated to required

The light goes off when you open and close door or touch CANCEL.
DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with only a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, it
has a coating that is resistant to fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive
cleaning products on the exterior of the dishwasher.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior
Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on
dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this residue
can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance.
Use of a dishwasher cleaning product, such as affresh
®
Dishwasher
Cleaner, can help to remove the residue. Monthly use of affresh
®
Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher.
Follow package directions.
NOTE:
KitchenAid recommends the use of high-quality, premeasured
detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher
cleaning and daily care.
If you have a drain air gap,
check and clean it if the
dishwasher isn’t draining well.
To Reduce Risk of Property
Damage During Vacation or
Extended Time Without Use:
■
When you will not be using
the dishwasher during the
summer months, turn off
the water and power supply
to the dishwasher.
■
Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase
water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or home.
Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
■
When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.
