DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning
Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and
a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of
your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your dishwasher has a
stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals can cause a white lm to build up on the
inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may
want to wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser
other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or
sudsing.
To clean interior
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp
sponge and clean.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a
damp sponge.
OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Cloudy or spotted dishware”
in “Troubleshooting” section.
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after
cleaning the interior.
Drain Air Gap
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a
drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain
system. Check the drain air gap when your dishwasher is not
draining well.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or
countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, please
call 1-844-553-6667. Ask for Part Number 300096.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is
not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your
dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with
the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.
To clean the drain air gap Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage
of your dishwasher. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover.
Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if
necessary.
Vacation or Extended Time Without Use
To reduce the risk of property damage If 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 damage 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.
