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” on pages 21-23 for special
cleaning problems. See Installation Instructions for information on storing your dishwasher
and for cleaning the drain air gap.
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: Follow the “Removing spots and
film” procedure on page 23 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.
