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 clean outside of your dishwasher.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
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. Wear rubber gloves. Do not
use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause
foaming or create suds.
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."
NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the interior.

DRAIN AIR GAP

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn't draining well. Some state
or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a built-
in dishwasher and the home drain system. If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap
protects your dishwasher from water backing up into it.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the
dishwasher.
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.
Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer. With most types:
1. Lift off the metal cover, and then unscrew the plastic cap.
2. Check for soil buildup and clean if necessary.
