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.

Burn Hazard

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.
