MAINTENANCE
To maintain performance and prevent trouble, it is important to check the outside and inside of the
dishwasher, including filters and spray arms, at regular intervals.
WARNING
• When cleaning the outside and inside of the dishwasher, do not use benzene or thinner. Otherwise, it
may cause fire or explosion.
• To prevent injury during care and maintenance or cleaning, wear gloves and/or protective clothing.
Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the Exterior
In most cases, the exterior of the dishwasher can
be cleaned with a soft damp cloth or sponge, then
dried with a soft cloth. If the dishwasher has a
stainless steel exterior, use a stainless steel
cleaner.
CAUTION
• If cooking oil is spilled on the exterior of the
product, wipe it off immediately. Do not clean
the exterior of the product with cleaners which
contain alcohol, thinners, bleach, benzene,
flammable liquids, or abrasives. These
substances may discolor or damage the
appliance.
Cleaning the Interior
• Clean the interior of the dishwasher periodically
with a soft, damp cloth or sponge to remove
food and dirt particles.
• To remove white spots and odor from inside the
dishwasher, run an empty cycle, without
detergent, with one cup of white vinegar in a
dishwasher safe glass or bowl placed on the
upper rack. (Vinegar is an acid and with constant
use it could damage the appliance.)
NOTE
• Run the Machine Clean cycle once a month, or
more often if needed, to remove detergent
buildup and other residue.
• If you have not used the dishwasher for a long
time, refresh the inside by running the Machine
Clean cycle without detergent. When the cycle is
finished, clean the inside and outside of the
dishwasher according to the MAINTENANCE
instructions.
Clogged Drain Air Gap or In-Sink
Disposal
Check the drain air gap or in-sink disposal if the
dishwasher is not draining well.
NOTE
• The drain air gap and disposal are external
plumbing devices that are not part of the
dishwasher.
• The warranty provided with the dishwasher does
not cover service costs directly associated with
the cleaning or repair of the external drain air
gap and disposal.

1
Turn off the dishwasher.
2
Remove the air gap cover and the plastic cap
underneath it.
