Outside

—Occasionally wipe with a mild

nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

Inside

—The inside of the dishwasher,

including the filter,  is self-cleaning with normal

use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket area

with a damp cloth.

Note:

 Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup

on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning

instructions see ‘‘Removing Spots and Film’’

section.

Care of Drain Air Gap

If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in

dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the

dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is

usually mounted on countertop and can be

inspected by removing the cover. This is not part

of your dishwasher and is not covered by

warranty.

Heating element

Filter

Spray arm/tower assembly

Allow heating element to cool

before cleaning the interior.

Failure to do so can result in

burns.

Burn Hazard

Overfill Protector

—keeps dishwasher

from overfilling and is located

in the left front corner of the

tub.

• Clean occasionally with

household  cleaner

containing vinegar or

bleach to dissolve any

buildup.

• Overfill Protector should move up and down

freely about one inch. If it does not move,

lift and clean underneath.

Care and Cleaning

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 detergent cup(s) and run dishwasher

through a NORMAL cycle.

4. Check connections to make sure they do not

leak.

Note:

 See Installations Instructions for more

details.

Property Damage Hazard

Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to

rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and

circulating lines within dishwasher are

protected.
Failure to do so could result in property damage.
