Care And Cleaning; Caring For The Dishwasher - GE Profile GSD5110 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.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of
the dishwasher.
Two types of
air gaps
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

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 dishwasher. Remove
1
fuses or trip circuit breaker.
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water
2
inlet line from the water valve.
Drain water from the water inlet line and water
3
valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
Reconnect the water inlet line to 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 air gap is easy to clean.
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome
1
cover.
Remove the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick.
