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.
WATER TEMPERATURE
Hot water is required for optimum dishwashing and drying
results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120˚F
(49˚C) to achieve satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwater:
1 Turn on the hot water faucet near the dishwater and let it run
for several minutes.
2 Hold a thermometer (such as a candy or meat thermometer)
in the water stream to check the temperature. If temperature
is below 120˚F (49˚C), have a qualied person raise the hot
water heater thermostat setting.
IMPORTANT
To ensure the water entering the dishwasher is hot, run hot
water from the nearest hot water faucet to clear cool water
from the pipe before starting the cycle.
WATER PRESSURE
The hot water supply line for the dishwasher must provide water
pressure. During high-demand periods, such as when a laundry
washing machine or a shower is in use, water pressure may be
low. For optimum performance, wait until hot water demand is
reduced before operating the dishwasher.
AIR GAP
An air gap is an external plumbing device separate from the
dishwasher, usually located on the sink or countertop near the
dishwasher. Some state and local plumbing codes require the
use of an air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home
drain system.
If an air gap is installed with your dishwasher, ensure it is clean
so the dishwasher drains properly. To clean the air gap, turn
off the dishwasher, lift the metal cover to remove, unscrew the
plastic air gap and clean it with a toothpick.
STORE DISHWASHER WHEN UNUSED
Your dishwasher should be properly protected from freezing
when left in an unheated place. Have a qualied technician
perform the steps listed below.
To Disconnect Service:
1 Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply
source by moving fuses or tripping the circuit breaker.
2 Turn off the water supply.
3 Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water line from
inlet valve and drain into pan.
4 Disconnect drain line from pump and drain water into pan.
To Restore Service:
1 Reconnect the water, drain and electrical power supply.
2 Turn on water and electrical power supply.
3 Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through a heated
wash cycle.
4 Check connections to make sure they do not leak.
