IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your 
dishwasher without the filters properly installed. Be sure the Lower 
Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is locked 
into place. If the Upper Filter Assembly turns freely, it is not locked 
into place.

Cleaning the exterior
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and 
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a 
stainless steel cleaner is recommended - Stainless Steel Cleaner 
and Polish Part Number 31464.

Cleaning the interior
Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered 
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent 
on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior. 

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.

Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure
To help avoid odor or odor-causing residue in your dishwasher, use 
affresh

®†

 dishwasher and disposer cleaner (recommended) once a 

month as part of routine maintenance. affresh

®

 dishwasher and 

disposer cleaner is effective in all dishwasher brands. 

IMPORTANT: 

■

Read these instructions and the instructions found on the 
affresh

®

 product package completely before beginning the 

cleaning process.

■

Use foil wrapper or gloves when handling the tablet.

1. Remove all dishware from the dishwasher. Open the 

dishwasher and place 1 affresh

®

 dishwasher and disposer 

tablet in the main detergent tray and close the tray. Place 
another tablet in the prewash tray or simply place 1 tablet in 
the bottom of the dishwasher. Close the dishwasher. Run the 
dishwasher on the most aggressive cycle - heavy duty scrub, 
heated water, etc.

2. Place 1 affresh

®

 dishwasher and disposal tablet into the 

garbage disposal. Turn on hot water to slow flow. Run the 
disposal and water for 15 seconds. Turn off disposal and 
water. Do not flush disposal completely with water. Water from 
the dishwasher will clean out the disposal. If no garbage 
disposal, skip this step.

■

When you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer 
months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.

■

Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing 
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase 
water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or 
home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

■

When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water 
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized 
service personnel.

1. Noting the previous 

illustrations, place the 
Lower Filter under the 
Locating Tabs in the 
bottom of the dishwasher 
so the round opening for 
the Upper Filter Assembly 
lines up with the round 
opening in the bottom of 
the tub.

2. Insert the Upper Filter 

Assembly into the circular 
opening in the Lower Filter.

3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place. 

Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the 
filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn 
the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place. 

NOTE: The Upper Filter Assembly arrow does not have to 
align with the arrow in the Lower Filter as long as the filter is 
locked.
