Care & Cleaning
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.
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be
protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do
the following:
To Disconnect Service:
1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at
the supply source by removing fuses or tripping
circuit breaker.
2. Shut off water supply.
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 both detergent cups and run dishwasher
through a HEAVY WASH cycle.
4. Check connections to make sure they do not
leak.
Outside
— Occasionally wipe with a mild
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Clean the Stainless Steel Inner
Door and Tub
The tub is made of Stainless Steel, it will not rust or
corrode if the dishwasher should be scratched or
dented.
Clean the Cylinder Filter
The Cylinder Filter is designed to collect some big
items such as broken glass, bones and pits. The
Cylinder Filter needs to be cleaned to maximize
wash performance.
Remove the lower rack, rotate the Cylinder Filter
as shown, lift it out, empty and clean it by rinsing
it under running water and replace.
WINTERIZING
Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in burns.
Burn Hazard
NOTE
Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on
the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning
instructions see “Removing Spots and Film”
