Outside—Occasionally wash with a mild
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Inside—The inside of the dishwasher is self-
cleaning with normal use.
If hard water causes lime deposit buildup, clean
using the following instructions:
1. After dishwasher begins to fill, open door and
pour 2 cups of white vinegar into dishwasher.
Do not add dishes or detergent.
2. Run through any full wash cycle.
If it is felt that further interior cleaning is needed,
general household spray cleansers are
recommended. Follow manufacturer's directions.
Important: The dishwasher motor is
permanently lubricated at the factory and does
not need to be oiled.
Care and Cleaning
Burn Hazard
Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in
burns.
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. Drain air gaps are
usually mounted on countertop and can be
inspected by removing the cover. A drain air gap is
not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by
this warranty.
Float—is used to measure water level in
dishwasher. Refer to
Dishwasher Features
on
page 3 for exact location.
• Clean float with household cleanser containing
vinegar or bleach to dissolve any buildup.
Cleaning will prevent float from sticking and
stopping a water fill or allowing dishwasher to
overflow.
• Pull up firmly to lift

• To replace float,
push down until

place.
