DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning

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.
Hard water minerals can cause a white film 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 "Spotting and filming on dishes" 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 1-800-4-MY-HOME
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.
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.

Storing

If your dishwasher is not in use during the summer months, turn off the water
supply and power supply to the dishwasher.
Avoid possible water damage to your home and dishwasher due to freezing
water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or could be
exposed to near freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by
authorized service personnel.
