Outside
—Occasionally wipe with a mild
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Inside
—The inside of the dishwasher,
including the filter, is self-cleaning with normal
use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket area
with a damp cloth.
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup
on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning
instructions see ‘‘Removing Spots and Film’’
section.
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.
Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in
burns.

down freely about
one inch. If it does
not move, lift and clean underneath.
