48 MAINTENANCE

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.
NOTE
• 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.

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.

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.)
Seasonal Maintenance and
Storage
• If you will be absent for an extended period of time
during warmer months, close the water valve and
disconnect the power supply line, or turn off the
circuit breaker. Clean the filter, tub and dispenser to
prevent odor.
• If you will be absent for an extended period of time
during colder months and there is a possibility of
freezing temperatures, winterize the water supply
lines and the dishwasher itself. Winterization must
be performed by qualified service personnel.

In-Sink Disposal
Check the drain air gap or in-sink disposal if the
dishwasher is not draining well.

not cover service costs directly associated with the
cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap and
disposal.
