Maintaining the Dishwasher ...............................
Your new Maytag Jetclean ® dishwasher requires little
maintenance attention. However, if you are going on
vacation, leaving a summer home or storing the dish-
washer for an extended period of time, you may want to
review the following information.
Dishwasher Interior
Cleaning
The inside design is normally self-cleaning, However,
you may want to periodically check the bottom of the
dishwasher tub to see if any large particles have not gone
through the strainer portion of the module.
You may also want to wipe the edge of the inner door
liner to remove any food soil splashes which occurred
during loading.
The color from some tomato-based tbod soils has been
known to occasionally adhere to today's dishwasher
tubs, causing discoloration. To help prevent this, when
washing a load of dishes heavily soiled with tomato
sauce:
Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes,
prior to !oading.
Select the Pots & Pans cycle with the IntelliClean '_
option OFF to wash this load.
For a strong odor, try one of the following:
1. Place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup.
Select Light and let the water circulate for about 10
minutes. Stop the dishwasher by unlatching the door
and let stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by
latching the door and let it complete the cycle.
2. Use a commercial dishwasher cleaning product such
as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleaner* according to pack-
age directions.
Storage/Moving
Fill both detergent cups with a fresh-scented dishwasher
detergent or baking soda and select a Normal cycle,
Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn
the water supply off and set the dishwasher to drain.
Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is
removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply and prop
open the door.
Dishwasher Exterior
The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft
damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use any
abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
Odors
Any odor inside the dishwasher is likely related to a
chemical (chlorine) odor from the detergent or a food
odor from soiled items sitting in the dishwasher. Try
using a different detergent, especially a lemon-scented
one, or purchase a fresh package and see if the odor
decreases.
It is recommended that the Rinse & Hold feature be used
if dishes are to be held for a couple of days before
washing. This will remove most food soils that may
develop an odor.
