DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with only a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior
of the dishwasher.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior
Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on
dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this residue
can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance.
Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as affresh
®
Dishwasher
Cleaner can help to remove the residue. Monthly use of affresh
®
Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher.
Follow package directions.
NOTE: The manufacturer recommends the use of high-quality
premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for
dishwasher cleaning and daily care.
If you have a drain air gap,
check and clean it if the
dishwasher isn’t draining well.
To Reduce Risk of Property
Damage During Vacation or
Extended Time Without Use:
■ When you will not be using
the dishwasher during the
summer months, turn off the
water and power supply to
the dishwasher.
■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase
water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or home.
Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.

If you experience Recommended solutions
Dishwasher does
not run or stops
during a cycle
It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several seconds during the main wash. Is the door closed
tightly and latched?
Is the right cycle selected?
Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse
or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?
Dishes do not
dry completely
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difcult to dry because they have a porous surface which
tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect drying.
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when you are
unloading the dishwasher.
■ Unload the lower rack rst.
■ For improved results, place these items on the more slanted side of the rack.
