ENGLISH CARE AND CLEANING CONTROL PANEL To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth. Then dry thoroughly. EXTERIOR DOOR PANEL Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the last two letters of your model number. You can locate your model number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If your model number ends with BB, CC, DS, D1, ES, FS, SA, TS, WW or W2 then you have a painted door panel. If your model number ends with SS or S1, then you have a Stainless Steel door panel. If your model number ends with II, then you have an Integrated door panel. Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific model. Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB or D1-black, CC-bisque, DS-black slate, ES-slate, FS-fingerprint resistant, SA-silver, TS-black stainless steel, or WW or W2-white) Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in SS or S1) For cleaning rust and tarnish, cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel. For other blemishes and marks, use Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel. You can order Stainless Steel Magic # WX10X29 through Haier Appliances Parts by visiting haierappliances.com/parts. In Canada, haiercanada.ca/parts. Integrated Door Panel (model numbers ending in II) This is a custom installed door panel, and you will need to refer to the cabinet manufacturers recommendations for proper cleaning. DISHWASHER INTERIOR To clean and de-odorize your dishwasher, use citric acid or Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner, a detergent additive. Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner will break up mineral deposits, and remove hard water film and stains. You can order citric acid Haier Appliances kit #WD35X151 through Haier Appliances Parts by visiting haierappliances. com/parts. In Canada, haiercanada.ca/parts. You can purchase Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner at your local grocery store. STAINLESS STEEL INNER DOOR AND TUB The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability available in a Haier Appliances dishwasher. If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their function or durability. DOES YOUR DISHWASHER HAVE AN 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. Air gap Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn't draining well. The air gap is easy to clean: 1 Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover. 2 Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a toothpick. 3 Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean. If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their function or durability. 18 49-4000207 Rev 1
