Estate tud6710wb Manuel D’Utilisation

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and 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.

Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp 
sponge and clean.

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

See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Spotting and filming on 
dishes” in “Troubleshooting.”

NOTE: Run a normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the 
interior.

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn’t draining 
well.

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a 
drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain 
system. If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap 

keeps 

water from 

backing up into your dishwasher.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or 
countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, contact 
your local dealer; or call us or your nearest designated service 
center and ask for Part Number 300096. For more information, 
see “Assistance or Service.”

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.

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of 
your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the 
manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. 
Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if 
necessary.

Turn off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher 
during the summer to avoid damage to your dishwasher.

Avoid water damage to your dishwasher and home due to 
freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal 
dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have 
your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
