Caring For The Dishwasher - GE EDW4000 Series Owner's Manual

Caring for the dishwasher.

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened
cloth, then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior,
use a good appliance polish wax.
Two types of
air gaps
Check the air gap any time your
dishwasher isn't draining well.
10
Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated
place during the winter, ask a service
technician to:
Cut off electrical power to the
1
dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip
circuit breaker.
Turn off the water supply and
2
disconnect the water inlet line
from the water valve.
Does Your Dishwasher Have
an Air Gap?
An air gap protects your dishwasher
against water backing up into it if a drain
clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered by your
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require
air gaps, so you may not have one.
The Stainless Steel Panels
The stainless steel panels can be cleaned
with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar
product using a clean, soft cloth.
You can order Stainless Steel Magic #
WX10X15 through GE Parts by calling
800.626.2002.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh
cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
Drain water from the water inlet line
3
and water valve. (Use a pan to catch
the water.)
Reconnect the water inlet line to the
4
water valve.
The air gap is easy to clean.
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off
1
the chrome cover.
Remove the plastic cap and clean with
2
a toothpick.
