CARE AND CLEANING WARNING Burn Hazard Allow heating element to cool before cleaning the interior. Failure to do so can result in burns. Each part of the assembly should be cleaned often to ensure that all food fragments are removed from the dishes. To remove food fragments from the filter assembly, the filters must be removed from the dishwasher. To remove the filters,rotate the cup counterclockwise to remove cup and main filter. Next, rinse the main filter and fine filter under running water. Outside-Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry. Models with Stainless Steel Door- Clean outer door with warm soapy water and a dishcloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and a dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners. Inside-The inside of the dishwasher is self-cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth. Cleaning with a brush may also be necessary to remove any fragments trapped in the filters. Once cleaning has been completed, simply reassemble the filter as shown in the drawing above. To ensure that the filter is fully seated, please press down on the top of the main filter. Using the dishwasher without a properly installed filter is not recommended as it will reduce the cleaning efficiency and may damage dishware. Care of Drain Air Gap If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted on countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty. NOTE Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see "Removing Spots and Film" section. Cleaning the Filter For optimum performance, your dishwasher is equipped with a filter assembly featuring a main filter, cup and fine filter as shown in the drawing above. All food fragments are removed from the dishwasher as water passes through the filter assembly. 14
