Overfill Protector

keeps dishwasher from

overfilling and is located in the left front corner of the tub.
• Clean occasionally with

household cleaner containing

vinegar or bleach to dissolve

any buildup.

• Overfill Protector should move

up and down freely about one

inch. If it does not move, lift
and clean underneath.

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.

Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the

interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see

“Removing Spots and Film” section.

Outside

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.
A glass trap located in

the center of the filter is

designed to collect

pieces of broken glass,

straws, bones and pits.

To remove items in

glass trap, grasp handle,

rotate, lift out, empty and replace.

Winterizing

A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be

protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do the
following:

To Disconnect Service:

1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the

supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit

breaker.

2. Shut off water supply.
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water

line from inlet valve and drain into pan.

4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain water

into pan.

To Restore Service:

1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power

supply.

2. Turn on water and electrical power supply.
3. Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through

a HEAVY WASH cycle.

4. Check connections to make sure they do not leak.

Allow heating element to cool before

cleaning the interior.

Failure to do so can result in burns.
