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.
Cleaning The Exterior
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, such as affresh
®†
Stainless Steel Cleaner.
Cleaning The Interior
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.
Removal of Hard Water/Filming:
We recommended to use a monthly maintenance product such as affresh
®
Dishwasher Cleaner.
■ Load your dishwasher (preferably with dishes affected by filming/ hard water).
■ Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser.
■ Select the cycle/option best for heavily soiled dishes and start the dishwasher.
To Manually Clean Interior:
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.
OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Cloudy or spotted dishware (and hard water
solution)” in the “Troubleshooting” section.
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.
