Care and Cleaning
AWARNIN
Burn Hazard
Allow heating element to cool before
cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in burns.
Outside —Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive
detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Inside —The inside of the dishwasher is self-cleaning
with normal use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket
area with a damp cloth.
The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located in the
center of the filter is designed to collect pieces of
broken glass, straws, bones and pits. To remove items
in glass trap, grasp handle, lift out, empty and replace.
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on
the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions
see “Removing Spots and Film” section.
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 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.
