at the supply source by removing fuses or

Disconnect water line from inlet valve and

drain into pan.

4. Disconnect drain line from pump and

drain water into pan.

To Restore Service:

1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical

power supply.

2. Turn on water and electrical power supply.
3. Fill both detergent cups and run

dishwasher through a NORMAL cycle.

not leak.

Note: See Installation Instructions for more

details.

Care and Cleaning

Outside

Occasionally wipe with a mild

nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and

dry.

Inside

The inside of the dishwasher is self-

cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean

around the tub gasket area with a damp

cloth.
The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located

in the center of the filter is designed to

collect pieces of broken glass, straws, bones

and pits. To remove items in glass trap, grasp

handle, lift out, empty and replace.

Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit

buildup on the interior of the dishwasher.

For cleaning instructions see Removing

Spots and Film section.

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.

Overfill Protector

keeps dishwasher from

overfilling and is located in the left front

corner of the tub.

Clean occasionally with household

cleaner containing

vinegar or bleach to

dissolve any buildup.

Overfill Protector

should move up and

down freely about one

inch. If it does not

move, lift and clean

underneath.

Property Damage Hazard

Freezing temperatures may cause water

lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to

and circulating lines within dishwasher are

protected.
Failure to do so could result in property

damage.

Burn Hazard

Allow heating element to cool

before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in

burns.
