a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of 

your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your dishwasher has a 

stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the 

inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may 

want to wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser  

other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming  

or sudsing.
To clean interior:
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp 

sponge and clean.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a  

damp sponge.
OR
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar  

is an acid and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe 

measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through  

a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving 

dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the  

wash water. 
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after 

cleaning the interior.

Some state or local plumbing 

codes require the addition of a 

drain air gap between a built-in 

dishwasher and the home drain 

system. Check the drain air gap 

when your dishwasher is not 

draining well.
The drain air gap is usually 

located on top of the sink or 

countertop near the dishwasher. 

NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is 

not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your 

dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with 

the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.
To clean the Drain Air Gap:
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage 

of your dishwasher. With most types, lift off the chrome cover, 

unscrew the plastic cap, then check for any soil buildup. Clean  

if necessary.

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be 

cleaned regularly. The filter efficiently removes food particles 

from the wash water, allowing water to be recirculated during the 

cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the large food 

particles trapped in the filter frequently by rinsing the Main Filter, 

Metal Strainer, and Fine Filter under running water. The entire filter 

assembly should be cleaned at least once a month.

 

■

To remove the filter 

assembly, turn the 

Main Filter ¼ turn 

counterclockwise  

and lift to remove.

 

■

To clean the Main Filter  

and Fine Filter, use a 

cleaning brush. 

Reassemble the filter parts as 

shown in the illustration and 

reinsert the entire assembly in 

the dishwasher, positioning it  

in place and turning the Main 

Filter ¼ turn clockwise to 

secure in place.
NOTE: The dishwasher must 

never be used without the 

filters. Improper replacement 

of the filters may reduce the 

performance level of the 

appliance and may damage 

dishes and utensils.
