Winterizing Your Dishwasher
if your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that
experiences freezing temperatures (e.g., in a holiday home or through a vacation period),
have your dishwasher winterized by an authorized service center.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not allow water to remain in your dishwasher sys-
tems through extended periods of freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures can
damage your dishwasher.
Wiping Up Spills and Splash-out
Water may occasionally splash out of your dishwasher, especially if you interrupt a cycle or
open the dishwasher door during a cycle. To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth,
do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
Check/Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that might collect
there from normal loading.
if spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub or inner door, make sure the rinse agent
reservoir is full.
Check/Clean the Spray Arm Nozzles
occasionally check the spray arms to ensure that the spray arm nozzles (holes) are
unobstructed. You must remove the spray arms to check them for obstruction.

shown in figure 25a. turn the locking nut counter-clockwise 1/8 turn and remove it,
as shown in figure 25B to release the spray arm.
