CARE AND CLEANING

NOTE

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.

detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

Models with Stainless Steel Door

sponge. Rinse with clean water and a dry cloth. Do not use
harsh cleaners.

Inside

—

The inside of the dishwasher is self-cleaning

with normal use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket
area with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the Filter

For optimum performance, your dishwasher is equipped

with a filter assembly featuring a main filter, cup and fine

filter as shown in the drawing above. All food fragments

are removed from the dishwasher as water passes through

the filter assembly.

Cleaning with a brush may also be necessary to remove any
fragments trapped in the filters. Once cleaning has been
completed, simply reassemble the filter as shown in the
drawing above. To ensure that the filter is fully seated,
please press down on the top of the main filter. Using the
dishwasher without a properly installed filter is not
recommended as it will reduce the cleaning efficiency
and may damage dishware.

Each part of the assembly should be cleaned often to
ensure that all food fragments are removed from the
dishes. To remove food fragments from the filter
assembly, the filters must be removed from the
dishwasher. To remove the filters,rotate the cup
counterclockwise to remove cup and main filter. Next, rinse
the main filter and fine filter under running water.
