CARING FOR YOUR DISHWASHER

Storing your dishwasher

Storing for the summer
Protect your dishwasher during the summer
months by turning off the water supply and
power supply to the dishwasher.
Moving or winterizing your
dishwasher
Protect your dishwasher and home against
water damage due to freezing water lines. If
your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwell-
ing or could be exposed to near freezing
temperatures, have a qualified person do
the following:
1. Disconnect power or unplug dishwasher.
2. Turn off water supply to the dishwasher.
3. Remove the 4 screws on the lower
access panel and remove the lower
access panel.
4. Place a shallow pan under the water
supply valve. Then, use a wrench to
disconnect the water inlet from the water
supply valve. Separate the water inlet
from the water supply valve and drain
water into the pan.
5. Remove the spring clamp from the water
outlet and separate from the water
supply valve; drain water into pan.
6. Reconnect both water inlet and water
outlet to the water supply valve.
7. Empty the pan and reposition it under the
water pump.
8. Remove the clamp and disconnect the
drain hose from the water pump; drain
water into pan.
9. Reconnect drain hose to the water pump,
being sure to position the clamp over the
connection.
10.Replace the lower access panel.
NOTE: If your dishwasher is connected to
a garbage disposal, do not run water into
the sink after winterizing. This could cause
water to refill the drain hose on your
dishwasher.
