Care & Cleaning of Your Dishwasher
General cleaning and maintenance
• Do not use abrasive, harsh cleaners, solvents, concentrated detergents or
metal scouring pads to clean the inside of dishwasher.
• Use warm soapy water with a soft brush or a piece of cloth to clean the
interior of a tub.
• Clean around the tub gasket with a damp cloth.
• When cleaning the control panel, use a slightly dampened cloth to wipe.
Then dry thoroughly.
• When cleaning the door, use slightly soapy water with a
soft piece of cloth.
• Do not use any sharp objects that can scratch the cabinet surface.
Preventing your dishwasher from freezing
To protect your dishwasher if it is left in an unheated place during the
winter.
• Shut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
• Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the
water valve.
• Do not install or operate your dishwasher where the temperature
is below freezing.
• If you receive a delivery of a dishwasher when the outside temperature
is below freezing, do not operate it until the dishwasher has warmed to
room temperature.
Storage of your dishwasher in a cold environment
• You must store the dishwasher at room temperature.
Drain Air Gap
Some states or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air
gap between the built in dishwasher and the drain. If the drain is clogged
the air protects the dishwasher from water backing up into it.
The drain gap is usually located on
the top of the sink or the counter top
near the dishwasher.
