DISHWASHER

CARE

Cleaning the exterior

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a

mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your

dishwasher

looking nice and clean.

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher

isn't

draining well.

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a

drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher

and the home drain

system. If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects your

dishwasher

from water backing up into it.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or

countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap call your

local dealer, or in the U.S.A., call the Customer interaction Center

at 1-800-422-1230

and ask for Part Number 300096.

NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is

not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your

dishwasher

does not cover service costs directly associated with

the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.

To clean the drain air gap

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of

your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions

provided by the

manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover.

Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if

necessary.

Storing for the summer

Protect your dishwasher

during the summer months by turning

off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

Winterizing

your dishwasher

Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage due to

freezing water lines, If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal

dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have

your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the

inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

Do not clean the dishwasher

interior until it has cooled. Wear

rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than

dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

To clean interior

Make a paste with powdered dishwasher

detergent on a damp

sponge and clean.

Use liquid automatic dishwasher

detergent and clean with a

damp sponge.

See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Spotting

and filming on

dishes" in "Troubleshooting."

NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the

interior.
