To clean the control panel use a lightly
dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean
the exterior use a good appliance polish wax.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or
harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
The stainless steel control panels can be
cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar
product using a clean, soft cloth.

Against
Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place
during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the
water inlet line from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the water inlet line and water
valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4. Reconnect the water inlet line to the water
valve.
5. Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub
bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in
the rubber boot.
The Air
Gap
An air gap protects your dishwasher against
water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air
gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not
covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing
codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean.
1. Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the
chrome cover.
2. Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with a
toothpick.
