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. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is
recommended.
/
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. You may want to 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.
OR
Use liquid automatic
dishwasher
detergent
and clean with a damp sponge.
OR
See the vinegar
rinse procedure
in "Spotting
and filming
on dishes" in
"Troubleshooting"
section.
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher
detergent
after cleaning
the interior.
Some state or local plumbing
codes require the addition
of a drain air gap
between
a built-in
dishwasher
and the home drain system. Check the drain air
gap when your dishwasher
is not draining
well.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop
near the
dishwasher.
To order a drain air gap, please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME
®. 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.
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
If your dishwasher
is not in use during the summer months, turn off the water
supply and power supply to the dishwasher.
Storing for the winter
Avoid possible water damage
to your home and dishwasher
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.
