Caring for the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Door Panel
Before cleaning the front panel, make sure
you know what type of panel you have.
Refer to the last two letters of your model
number. You can locate your model
number on the left-hand tub wall just
inside the door. If your model number ends
with BB, WW, CC, SA or BG, then you have
a Painted Door panel. If your model
number ends with SS, then you have a
Stainless Steel Door panel. If your model
number ends with CS, then you have a
CleanSteel Door panel.

numbers ending in 55/
The stainless steel panels can be cleaned
with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar
product using a clean, soft cloth. Do not
use appliance wax, polish, bleach or
products containing chlorine on Stainless
Steel doors.

#WX10X15 through GE Parts by calling

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth,
then dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance
wax, polish or any chemical agent on
CleanSteel doors.
Do not wipe the dishwasher with a soiled
dish cloth or wet towel. These mag leave
a residue. Do not use scouring pads or
powdered cleaners because these
products can scratch the finish.
Cleaning the Control Panel

dampened cloth. Then dry thoroughly.
Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated
place during the winter, ask a service
technician to:
Drain water from the water inlet line
'—' and water valve. (Use a pan to catch
the water.)
pn Cut off electrical power to the
*—‘ dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip
circuit breaker.
[771 Reconnect the water inlet line to the
'—' water valve.
Turn off the water supply and
’—‘ disconnect the water inlet line from
the water valve.
Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
The air gap is easy to clean. An air gap protects your dishwasher
against water backing up into it if a drain
clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered by your
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require
air gaps, so you may not have one.
[T] Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the
cover.
Remove the plastic cap and clean with
— a toothpick.
Check the air gap any time
your dishwasher isn't draining
well.
