Whirlpool TUD6900 用户手册

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. 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 protects your 
dishwasher from water backing up into it.

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 in the U.S.A., call the Customer Interaction 
Center and ask for Part Number 300096.

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.

Plastics

Always check manufacturer’s 
recommendations before washing. 
Plastics vary in their capacity to 
withstand high temperatures and 
detergents. Load plastics in top rack 
only.

Stainless Steel

Run a rinse cycle if not washing 
immediately. Prolonged contact with 
food containing salt, vinegar, milk 
products, or fruit juice can damage 
finish.

Sterling Silver or 
Silver Plate

Run a rinse cycle if not washing 
immediately. Prolonged contact with 
food containing salt, acid, or sulfide 
(eggs, mayonnaise, and seafood) can 
damage finish.

Tin

Can rust.

Wooden Ware

Wash by hand. Always check 
manufacturer’s instructions before 
washing. Untreated wood can warp, 
crack, or lose its finish.
