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 inter-
rupt 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 agent 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 dish-
washer. Turn the rack upside down. The top spray arm is held in position by a
locking nut as shown in Figure 10. 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 position. 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 11. Look for obstruction in the spray nozzles. If the spray noz-
zles 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/Cylinder Filter assembly, a
Fine Filter and a Micro Filter. The filter system is located on the inside of your
dishwasher under the lower rack and is easily accessible. 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. 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.
