was spilled
This is normal
What To Do
A small amount of clean
•
water around the outlet on
the tub bottom at the back
of the tub keeps the water
seal lubricated.
If you have an air gap,
•
clean it.
Check to see if your kitchen
•
sink is draining well. If not,
you may need a plumber.
If the dishwasher drains
•
into a disposer, run
disposer clear.
Use only automatic
•
dishwasher detergents to
avoid sudsing.
To remove suds from the
•
tub, open the dishwasher
and let suds evaporate.
Add 1 gallon of cold water
to the tub. Close and latch
the dishwasher. Pump out
water by slowly turning the
Dial until a drain period
is reached. Repeat if
necessary.
Always wipe up rinse agent
•
spills immediately.
Steam comes through the
•
vent by the door latch
during drying and when
water is being pumped out.
