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.
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup
on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning
instructions see “Removing Spots and Film”
section.
Outside—Occasionally wipe with a mild
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Models with Stainless Steel Door—
Clean outer door with warm soapy water and a
dishcloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and a
dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners.
Inside—The inside of the dishwasher is self-
cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around
the tub gasket area with a damp cloth.
Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in
burns.

Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Filter
For optimum performance, your dishwasher is
equipped with a filter assembly featuring a main
filter, cup and fine filter as shown in the drawing
above. All food fragments are removed from the
dishwasher as water passes through the filter
assembly.
Cleaning with a brush may also be necessary to
remove any fragments trapped in the filters. Once
cleaning has been completed, simply reassemble
the filter as shown in the drawing above. To
ensure that the filter is fully seated, please press
down on the top of the main filter. Using the
dishwasher without a properly installed filter is
not recommended as it will reduce the
cleaning efficiency and may damage dishware.
Each part of the assembly should be cleaned often
to ensure that all food fragments are removed from
the dishes. To remove food fragments from the
filter assembly, the filters must be removed from
the dishwasher. To remove the filters,rotate the
cup counterclockwise to remove cup and main
filter. Next, rinse the main filter and fine filter under
running water.
