Protecting the Dishwasher Against Freezing
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Each time after washing cycles,
please take the following steps:
1. Turn off the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet hose from the back of the unit.
3. Drain the water from the inlet hose and inlet port. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4. Reconnect the water inlet hose to the inlet port.
5. Remove the filter system and use a sponge to absorb the water that is in the filter (sump)
area.
Other Maintenance Suggestions
In order to keep your dishwasher in good working order the following suggestions should be
followed:
After Every Wash
Turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and
odors are not trapped inside.
When Cleaning
Never use abrasive solvents when cleaning. Only use a dampened soft cloth with warm water. To
remove spots or stains from the interior surface you may use a cloth dampened with water and a
little white vinegar.
Cleaning the Door Seals
Food that remains trapped in the seals may cause odors to form. Periodic cleaning with a damp
sponge will prevent this from occurring.
Clean the Filters Regularly
Cleaning the filters regularly will prevent clogs and odors from occurring.
Preparation for Storage
When preparing to put the dishwasher into storage, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle
with the dishwasher empty. Disconnect the unit from power. Remove any water remaining in the
sump area with a terry cloth or absorbent sponge. Turn off the water supply and leave the door of
the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from
forming inside the dishwasher.
If the Dishwasher Must be Moved
If the dishwasher must be moved, try to keep it in the upright position. Do not transport the unit on
its side or upside down.
Do Not Use Some Items That Are Not Suitable for Dishwasher Use:
 Cutlery with wooden, horn, china, or mother of pearl handles.
 Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
 Older cutlery with glued parts that are not heat resistant.
 Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
 Pewter or copper items.
 Crystal glass.
