Jenn-Air JDB-5 User Manual

• The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.

Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub
to see if any large particles remain.

• Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any

food soil splashes which occurred during loading.

• When cleaning the stainless steel exterior, always

wipe with the grain.  Never use products containing
chlorine bleach or citric acid.

• The color from some tomato-based food soils may

occasionally adhere to various components of the
dishwasher interior, causing temporary discoloration.  

To minimize this: 

• Remove excess tomato-based food soils from

dishes before loading.

• Run the Heavy Wash cycle when washing loads

containing tomato-based food soils.

• Be sure to use a dishwasher detergent that

contains chlorine to better fight staining.
