Caring for Your Dishwasher
Your new dishwasher is designed to give you many years of dependable service. There are
a few things you can do to maintain your dishwasher properly. This section tells you how to
clean and care for your dishwasher. Refer to “Solution chart” for special cleaning problems.
See Installation Instructions for information on storing your dishwasher and for cleaning the
drain air gap.
Cleaning the exterior
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals may cause a white film
to build up on the inside surfaces, especially
just beneath the door area.
To clean interior:
l Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a
damp sponge to make a paste.
OR
l Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent
and clean with damp sponge.
Do
not
clean the dishwasher interior until it
has cooled.
Wear rubber gloves. Do
not
use any type of
cleanser other than dishwasher detergent
because it can cause foaming or sudsing.
NOTE: See “Removing spots and film” in the
“Solving Common Dishwashing Problems”
section to clean your dishwasher with white
vinegar. Remember, this procedure is
intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is
an acid. Excessive use can damage your
dishwasher.
Overfill protector
The overfill protector (in the front right corner
of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher
from overfilling. It must be in place for the
dishwasher to operate.
Check under the float for objects that may
keep the protector from moving up or down.
