of the tub.

household cleaner

bleach to dissolve any
buildup.

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.

Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup
on the interior of the dishwasher.

Outside—Occasionally wipe with a mild
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Models with Easy Care Real Stainless Finish
—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.
The filter is self-
cleaning. 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, lift
out, empty and
replace.
