“Sanitized” Light
When the “Sanitized” light appears on the control panel, it means that the dishware and
kitchenware that were just washed have been sanitized according to the requirements of
the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). For more information on NSF certification, go to
the Wash Cycle Information section of this manual.
NOTE:
If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher’s heating time may be
reduced and the “Sanitized” light may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher Installation Manual
has information on the recommended temperature for your household hot water supply.
Unloading the Dishwasher
Unload the bottom rack first.
Unload the silverware basket(s). They are easily removed for unloading.
Unload the top rack.
If the Extra Tall Item Sprinkler was installed, return the dishwasher to its normal condition
(see the Loading Extra Tall Items instructions in the “Loading the Dishwasher” section of
this manual).
Care and Maintenance
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.
These tasks are:
• Winterizing Your Dishwasher
• Wiping up Spills and Splash-out
• Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
• Check/Clean the Spray Arm Nozzles
• Check/Clean the Filter System
• Clean the Exterior Door Panel
• Clean the Door Gasket
Winterizing Your Dishwasher
If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that
experiences freezing temperatures (e.g., in a holiday home or through a vacation period),
have your dishwasher winterized by an authorized service center.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not allow water to remain in your dishwasher sys-
tems through extended periods of freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures can
damage your dishwasher.
Wiping Up Spills and Splash-out
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.
Check/Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that might collect
there from normal loading.
If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub or inner door, make sure the rinse agent
reservoir is full.
