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. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
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.
Check the air gap any time your
dishwasher isn't draining well.
Stainless Steel Panels
The stainless steel panels can be cleaned
with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar
product using a clean, soft cloth.
