Operating Instructions Care And Cleaning; Caring For The Dishwasher - GE EDW3000 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.
Never use sharp object, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place
during the winter, ask a service technician to:
Sump cover screws
Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
Two types of
air gaps
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.
Check the air gap any time your
dishwasher isn't draining well.
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.
