*Note: For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to improve
water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion
of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent
to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING
Burn Hazard
Allow heating element to cool before cleaning the
interior. Failure to do so can result in burns.
Outside - Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive
detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Models with Stainless Steel Door - 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.

Cleaning the Filter

For optimum performance, your dishwasher is equipped
with a filter assembly featuring a main filter, cup and
fine filter as shown in Figure 3-3. All food fragments are
removed from the dishwasher as water passes through
the filter assembly.
Each part of the assembly should be cleaned often to
ensure that all food fragments are removed from the
dishes.

To remove food fragments from the filter assembly,
the filters must be removed from the dishwasher. To
remove the filters, rotate the cup counterclockwise to
remove cup and main filter. Next, rinse the main filter
and fine filter under running water.
Cleaning with a brush may also be necessary to remove
any fragments trapped in the filters. Once cleaning has
been completed, simply reassemble the filter as shown
in Figure 3-3. To ensure that the filter is fully seated,
press down on the top of the main filter. Using the
dishwasher without a properly installed filter is not
recommended as it will reduce the cleaning efficiency
and may damage dishware or wash pump.
