Care and Maintenance

Maintenance Tasks
Certain areas of the dishwasher require occasional maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy
to do and will ensure continued superior performance from your dishwasher.
Wiping up spills and splash-outs
Water may occasionally splash out of your dishwasher, particularly if you interrupt a cycle or open
the dishwasher door during a cycle. To avoid floor damage and possibly mold growth, do not
allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
Clean the stainless steel inner door and tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that may collect from
normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel, make sure the rinse aid is full and
functioning properly.
Check and clean spray arm nozzles
Remove the top spray arm by first removing the empty top rack from the dishwasher. Turn the rack
upside down. The top spray arm is held in position by a locking nut as shown in Figure 8. Turn the
locking nut counterclockwise and remove it to release the spray arm. Look for obstruction in the
spray nozzles. If the spray nozzles need cleaning, flush them under running water.
To reinstall the top spray arm, place it back in position and return the locking nut to its install posi-
tion. Turn the locking nut clockwise to secure. Return the top rack to the top rack roller guides.
Remove the bottom spray arm by first removing the empty bottom rack from the dishwasher.
Grasp and lift the spray arm as shown in Figure 9. Look for obstruction in the spray nozzles.
If the spray nozzles need cleaning, flush them under running water.
To reinstall the bottom spray arm, return the bottom spray arm to the installed
position and press it until it snaps into place. Return the bottom rack to the
installed position.
Check and clean the filter system
The filter system consists of a Large Object Trap, Fine Filter and a Micro Filter. The filter
system is located on the inside of your dishwasher under the lower rack and is easily acces-
sible. During normal use, the filter system is self-cleaning. You should occasionally inspect it
for foreign objects and clean it when necessary.
To avoid injury, do not reach into the large object trap with your fingers.
The large object trap could contain sharp objects.
To remove the Large Object Trap, remove the bottom rack. Grasp the assembly and turn it
counterclockwise as shown in Figure 10. Lift the assembly out.
Carefully examine the assembly. If you find debris in the Large Object Trap, turn it upside-down
and gently tap it on a flat surface to dislodge and remove debris.
Flush the Micro Filter clean by holding it under running water.
To reinstall the filter system, return the fine filter to the installed position. Turn the locking nut
clockwise until it is locked. The arrow on the ring handle and the arrow on the Fine Filter should point at each other.
Clean the exterior door panel
Colored doors: use only a soft cloth dampened with soapy water.
Stainless steel doors: use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner (preferably a liquid spray) made for cleaning stainless
steel. For the best results, apply the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth and then wipe the surface.
Clean the door gasket
Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other debris. Also clean the door seal,
located inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.
