Cleaning Instructions

IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brushes, scouring pads, etc., as

they may damage the filters.

Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed.

If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard

water, a soft brush may be required.

Filter Reinstallation Instructions

1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the lower filter under

the locating tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher, so the

round opening for the upper filter assembly lines up with

the round opening in the bottom of the tub.

Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and

mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior,

it has a coating that is resistant to fingerprints. Avoid using

abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the dishwasher.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior

Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on

dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this

residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher

performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as

affresh

Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue.

Monthly use of affresh

Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended

to help maintain the dishwasher.

To Use:

1. If cleaning without dishes, place one tablet in the detergent

dispenser. Do not add detergent (If significant buildup is

noticeable, a second tablet can be placed in the bottom

of the dishwasher.)

2. If cleaning with dishes, place one tablet in the bottom of the

dishwasher. Place detergent in the dispenser.

3. Run a Normal wash cycle.

Another method to remove white residue is to use a vinegar rinse.

However, vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage

your dishwasher.

Place (do not pour), 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass

or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run

the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an

air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent.

Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

NOTE: KitchenAid recommends the use of high-quality,

premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse

aid for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.

2. Insert the upper filter assembly into the circular opening

in the lower filter.

To replace upper filter assembly

3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place.

Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the

filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the

filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.

NOTE: The upper filter assembly arrow does not have to align

with the arrow in the lower filter as long as the filter is locked.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate

your dishwasher without the filters properly installed. Be sure the

lower filter is securely in place and the upper filter assembly is

locked into place. If the upper filter assembly turns freely, it is not

locked into place.

Dishwasher Care

If you have a drain air gap,

check and clean it if the

dishwasher isn't draining well.

To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation

or Extended Time Without Use

When you will not be using the dishwasher during the

■

summer months, turn off the water and power supply to

the dishwasher.

Make sure the water supply lines are protected against

■

freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines

can increase water pressure and cause damage to your

dishwasher or home.

Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

■

When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water

■

damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized

service personnel.
