Cleaning The Interior; Overfill Protector; Cleaning The Filter Screen - Whirlpool SERIES 400, SERIES 800, SERIES 806, SERIES 810, SERIES 840 Use And Care Manual

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals may cause a white film
to build up on the inside surfaces, especially
just beneath the door area.
To clean interior:
•
Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a
damp sponge to make a paste.
OR
•
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent
and clean with damp sponge.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it
has cooled.
Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of
cleanser other than dishwasher detergent
because it can cause foaming or sudsing.
NOTE: See "Removing spots and film" in the
"Solving Common Dishwashing Problems"
section to clean your dishwasher with white
vinegar. Remember, this procedure is
intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is
an acid. Excessive use can damage your
dishwasher.

Overfill protector

The overfill protector (in the front right corner
of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher
from overfilling. It must be in place for the
dishwasher to operate.
Check under the float for objects that may
keep the protector from moving up or down.

Cleaning the filter screen

The filter system requires periodic cleaning
as needed. To clean screen:
1. Unload and slide the bottom rack forward.
(Remove bottom rack if necessary to
reach filter screen.)
2. Remove collected particles from the
screen with your fingers or paper towel.
3. Return the bottom rack to original position.
